Dear Sisters and Brothers,
In response to the threat posed by the racist Minutemen, the Coalition against Intolerance and for Respect is organizing a spirited, peaceful, and legal rally this coming Saturday, October 8, at 3 pm at Burnett Bayland Park, 6000 Chimney Rock at Gulfton. The rally will include speakers, music, and poets.
This is a very important event. It is imperative for all of us to stand in unity and solidarity with our immigrant brothers and sisters who are under increasing attack from the Far Right. Please join us in defending the rights and dignity of all people-and demanding fair, just immigration reform with permanent residence for all, and fair trade policies. Houston needs to be a hate-free zone!
A bilingual flyer for the demonstration is attached. For more information, please call (832) 392-8777 or (832) 282-6997.
In Solidarity,
Rona and David
for the Progressive Workers Organizing Committee

Event Description:
For professional and general audiences, this three-day annual event equips participants with models, resources and networks, encouraging everyone to act as primary forces in the transformation toward a restorative future. Bioneers are biological pioneers who are working with nature to heal nature and ourselves. They have peered deep into the heart of living systems to devise strategies for restoration based on nature's own operating instructions. They come from many cultures and perspectives, and all walks of life.
Bioneers are scientists and artists, gardeners and economists, activists and public servants, architects and ecologists, farmers and journalists, priests and shamans, policymakers and citizens. They are everyday people committed to preserving and supporting the future of life on Earth. They herald a dawning Age of Restoration founded in natural principles of kinship, interdependence, cooperation, reciprocity, and community.
In addition to the speakers listed at right, lunch and dinner are available at $11 per meal.
