This is the same day the Nazis are rallying at the Capitol in DC.

It is the same day for a lot of actions and events in our general area, Nazi chuckleheads are one of them! Why they chose Saturday the 19th it is a saturday and it is the start of Passover, this way the keep away a lot of Jewish people who really come out in big numbers and get fucking angry at the Nazis because they were the ones originally affected by them the most, so if you choose a religious holiday in addition to the regular sabbath you will kill a bunch of turn out. While the NSM are morons in most regards they know how to maximize their not getting the shit kicked out of them by Jews!

This is why turn out against the Nazis is so important.

Activism is not about playing soccer, it is about fighting everything that every activist is against, and do what every activist is supposed to be doing, ACTIVISM!!

Screw Richmond if they just don't get it!

the last poster go it right on! What a reactionary way for anarchists to spend the day! Playing soccer while the Latino immigrant community is getting fucked all over by raids and state terrorism courtesy of the US government and all these people can do to show solidarity is to have a fucking conference and play soccer? What kind of anarchist are these? What the fuck is going on with these people? If this a desperate attempt to bleed people from the anti-Nazi action of the 19 in DC, well, that BS is just not going to work and, most importantly, through this type of anti-movement actions we shall see who our friends and who our enemies are! And, like it was said before, screw the VAF and Richmond if they don't get the concept of solidarity or what true anarchism is about!

When was the date for this event picked? The April 19th date both to stop the Nazis in DC AND for the Philly/Mumia march have been known for quite a while now.

To schedule a third and unrelated event on April 19th is a harmful act against the DC mobilization against the Nazis and possibly against Philly's Mumia march as well.

If this was the first time, that would be one thing-but coming on the heels of the butchered AMREN call and that "peace bloc" that tried to sabotage the Georgetown march it is quite another.

Suspected Democratic party operatives have repeatedly tried to disrupt anarchist and anarchist-supported protests in the DC area, beginning with Georgetown/IMF. This being so, it has become especially important for anarchist groups to avoid doing the same thing to oneanother with competing events scheduled on dates known in advance.

It would be a show of real solidarity to move the VAF event to April 20th-and would allow VAF members to participate in the conference without having to give Nazis a free pass in DC. I know DC is 120 miles from Richmond, but as much as many activists seem to travel these days, a "neighboring city" event can cause a lot of problems.

As for DC, it was the Nazis who picked that date, forcing(under threat of later and bigger Nazi mobes followed by crimes) DC residents to focus on stopping a threat in our own communities first. All of us in DC would prefer that the Nazis cancel their event, so we would be free to do other things, but the only way to achieve this is to go out in the streets and shut them down ourselves.

I suspect few DC area activists are going to be travelling to Richmond when Nazis are on the Mall!
