Shut Down Matt Hale and the World Church of the Creator in Schaumburg!
Saturday August 25th
6:30 pm
130 S. Roselle Rd.
Schaumburg, IL
Who is Matt Hale and the WCOTC?
Matt Hale is the leader of the WCOTC, the largest fascist group active in
Illinois. The WCOTC is currently conducting an ambitious campaign of public
meetings and propaganda blitzes in hopes of building a popular base for
their white supremacist politics. Their battle cry is "RAHOWA" (Racial Holy
war) and in July, 1999, one of their members went on a shooting spree that
targeted Asian, Black and Jewish people, killing two and wounding nine others.
Why Should They Be Opposed?
ARA organizes opposition to the WCOTC and other fascists for 3 main
reasons. First, despite their relatively small size, the fascists
consistently carry out acts of terror, including murder and bombings aimed
at intimidating women, lesbian and gays, anti-fascist activists, and Black,
Latino/a, Jewish and Asian communities. Second, by aggressively pushing
white supremacist and fascist solutions to social questions they are able
to help frame the bounds of debate on abortion, immigration, welfare, etc.
Third, by posing as a "revolutionary" opposition they seek to win over
working class whites who are fed up with the system and are looking for
ways to fight.
What does Anti-Racist Action Stand For?
ARA seeks to not only cripple the fascists but help build a movement
against the entire system of exploitation and oppression that holds us all
down today. We seek a multi-racial, pro-woman, pro-queer, pro-youth
movement that engages in both direct action and direct democracy, building
a radical alternative to both the system and the fascist groups it spawns.
