The assault on immigrant and civil rights continues with the detentions, “disappearances,” and deportations of Arab and South Asian Americans, as well as ongoing racial profiling of African Americans and Latinos. The Patriot Act has not helped to make our communities feel safer.

We unite to protest recent hate crimes, such as the vicious anti-Muslim attack on an Indian man in New Bedford, and the anti-Muslim flier circulated by Mass. Senator Guy Glodis.

We demand our civil liberties and human rights, and an end to racial profiling and racist violence. Stop the silent war at home!

SOUTH ASIAN COMMITTEE ON HUMAN RIGHTS (SACH)

Chapter; UMass Boston Human Rights Working Group.

We will not be silenced! We will not be divided! We will not be removed!
