About the protest at Newscorp Headquarters NYC from the nycsocialist.org website:
Over the past few months there has been an escalation of hate crimes and bigotry growing throughout our city and country. In particular Muslims, immigrants, and LGBT (lesbian, gay bisexual, and transgendered) people have come under attack and been vilified by hate-mongering politicians such as Paladino and Fox News. We must stand together to say no to hatred and violence no matter what group of people is targeted.
Fox news must be held accountable for their hate. When bigots like Glen Beck and others from FOX NEWS attack gays, muslims, and immigrants each day on mainstream television, we should not be surprised when these attacks beginning to take place.
In the past month, over six LGBT people have committed suicide. A Muslim boy was beaten in his school while being called a “terrorist”. Hate crimes and harassment has increased against Latinos in schools, workplaces and on the streets. The progressive community needs to come together and take a stand against hatred in all its forms. If we do not stand up to this hate it will continue to grow!
Join an ad-hoc committee in saying NO TO HATRED! NO TO BIGOTRY! AN INJURY TO ONE IS AN INJURY TO ALL! Spread the word far and wide!
