Homeland Security Signs Order to Finish Triple Border Fence and Bulldoze Endangered Species Preserve

We call on people everywhere to converge on the San Diego/Tijuana region
and the Mexicali/Calexico region of the Mexico/US border in order to
stop the vigilante operation being planned there by the Friends of the
Border Patrol, beginning on September 16th. We also call on those who
cannot travel to these areas to organize solidarity actions in their
home towns rejecting the Minutemen, Borders and the racist ideologies
that Borders are built on.

Our goal for Sep. 16th-18th is to take action and directly shut down the
Minutemen operations.

No one is illegal. All people have a right to travel and migrate
wherever they want. Our struggle works toward the liberation of migrant
people, women, indigenous people, people of all nationalities, queers
and people of color against the violent bigotry of the MinuteMen and we
intend to stop their project from going any further.

Migration controls hurt everyone's freedom and privacy. Some of us are
more directly targeted and affected by these policies, but all of our
lives are being reshaped by them. We are in this struggle not only to
reject and stop these racist attacks, but to move towards a world
without borders, a world of liberation for all people.
