Unity in the Community - Meeting to Plan Response to Upcoming Announced Nazi
Activity

[deleted location, time]

Please join local residents in building a community response to recent and
announced Nazi plans for targeting Olympia for a 3-day Nazi presence over
the 4th of July weekend. Our goal is to reinforce and organize a broad-based
coalition of groups and individuals truly representative of our community to
uphold diversity and say "No!" to hate groups.

Invited participants include:

* Local activists
* Representatives of ethnic community organizations
* Faith community leaders
* Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender community activists
* Business community leaders
* Elected officials
* Law enforcement
* Local prosecutors
* social service agency representatives
* everyone who opposes hate groups and is willing to work in coalition with
the kind of folks listed above

This initial meeting is being coordinated by Unity In the Community, a
multi-cultural organization that formed in the early 1990s in Olympia in
response to the targeted murder of Bob Buchanan Jr., a young biracial
Olympia man, by neo-nazis and the subsequent wave of neo-nazi violence that
followed.

Goals include:

* Sharing information
* Building a community support & email network
* Initial planning for response(s) to July 3rd Nazi rally on Capitol steps
* Encouraging peaceful, non-violent responses to potential nazi activity
* Community education
