Critical Race Theory Forum: Let’s Talk <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

What Critical Race Theory IS and what it is NOT <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Join us for this important discussion with experts and activists working on a daily basis to educate, organize and liberate the working class and oppressed peoples locally, nationally and globally. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a concerted attack on African and African American scholarship and literature represented by state legislatures banning the teaching of the actual history of the United States and the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are these opponents of antiracist education afraid of? What implications are there for the further erosion of democratic rights and the escalation of state repression and imperialist war? Join us for discussions around these important questions.

1002 4th<\/sup>\u00a0St.
San Rafael
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just days after Amnesty International, the most well-respected international human rights organization in the US, joins longtime Palestinian voices in exposing Israel\u2019s apartheid, a separate-and-unequal system of domination rooted in settler colonialism, Congress (including Rep. Huffman) is primed to pass H.R. 2748, the Israel Relations Normalization Act, or as we call it, the Normalizing Israeli Ethnic Cleansing Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a time when we should be demanding accountability ASAP to stop Israel\u2019s crimes, Congress is promoting Trump-era weapons deals, which give authoritarian regimes weapons in exchange for political support for Israeli violence against the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s nothing normal about Israel\u2019s ongoing ethnic cleansing and apartheid. Tell Congressman Huffman to vote NO on the Normalizing Israeli Ethnic Cleansing Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
