BOSTON '75
ANTI-RACISM ACTION PROJECT
"C" A Summer Of Struggle, A Lifetime of Commitment,
A Call to Action
JUNE 1-AUGUST 31
The Steering Committee of the International Committee Against Racism (CAR) calls on students an other interested people to join our Freedom Summer Anti-Racist Action Project. Its purpose is to give a national/International focus to the anti-racist struggles going on in Boston. Summer volunteers will work under the leadership of Boston CAR. Together, they will prepare the way for a strong people's movement which will unite blacks, whites, and other minorities to fight for quality, desegregated education and to fight against the racism being used to wreck the busing program.
The main focus will be working with Boston students, parents, and teachers, especially those from ethnic communities like South Boston and Roxbury.
Two one-week anti-racist schools will be opened in June and July with weekly workshops to prepare our volunteers for the correct ways of interacting with the Boston community. The Key strategy is alliances with existing, rank-and-file forces already mobilized against racist attacks. Only in such a united, rank-and-file, multiracial, mass movement can we defeat racism-in Boston and everywhere.
The power structure has kept Boston in a turmoil. Racism is preventing working and middle-class people from getting a decent school system to replace a poor one. Racism is keeping blacks, whites, and other people from fighting back against unemployment, the cutbacks which are ruining health, education, and welfare in the Boston area. Boston Freedom Summer '75 will help many white Bostonians especially to begin to understand that racism hurts them. That without multiracial unity there is no decent life for anyone. CAR BELIEVES THAT WE CAN REACH THE SILENT MAJORITY OF WHITE ANTI-RACIST AND BRING THEM INTO OPEN STRUGGLE. By hindering the attempt to create even futher racial turmoil around the 75-76 busing program, we will greatly improve our chances of creating an international movement against racism.
