Call to action July 31 against racism and fascism

FREE THE TINLEY PARK 5

Published Jun 28, 2012 6:37 PM

This year’s Day of Action Against Fascism and Racism on July 31, sponsored by Anti-Racist Action, will focus on gathering support for the Tinley Park 5 as part of the ongoing fight against white supremacists and those who support them.

The Tinley Park 5 — Jason W. Sutherland, Cody L. Sutherland, Dylan J. Sutherland, Alex R. Stuck and John S. Tucker — are currently incarcerated in Cook County Jail in Chicago. The Five, white anti-racist anarchists, were arrested on May 19 for allegedly physically breaking up an “economic summit” by members of the Illinois European Heritage Association at a restaurant in Tinley Park, Ill., a Chicago suburb. The Five are facing major felony charges, including “mob action, criminal damage to property and aggravated battery.” They are being held in jail on combined bail of about $1 million.

The Hoosier Anti-Racist Movement and the ARA are encouraging supporters to hold fundraising and educational events, protests and other creative actions on July 31 to raise awareness and support for the Five, to demand their release and that all charges against them be dropped.

“We hope July 31st will serve as a catalyst for long lasting, pro-active antifascist affinity groups or organizations. We believe that we need a dedicated and large force of militant antifascists with great intelligence, analysis, and dedication to crushing emerging extreme Right and fascist movements. If your organization or crew is interested in endorsing the July 31st Day of Action, please contact us at [email protected]. Fight Fascism, Smash Racism,” reads the ARA July 31 call.
