Description:: THE PURPOSE OF THIS GROUP HAS CHANGED. We are no longer calling for "peaceful protest"; we are calling for NO PROTEST at all. Rather, we are here to inform the students of this university of the events that are happening in the community. However, the title of this group still contains the word "protest" because we are calling for a forum for students who ideologically dissaprove of the march to express their viewpoints.

I have received information that the Nazi marchers may be ARMED and DANGEROUS and LOOKING FOR A FIGHT. We do not want anyone to provoke them or become hurt. We also do not want local Columbia businesses to become damaged as a result of anyone's actions. AGAIN, DO NOT GO OUT AND PROTEST. Keep all of that in your heads, kids.

On March 10, 2007 sometime from 12 to 5 p.m. the National Socialist Movement (a.k.a. NAZIS) will be marching in downtown Columbia through Hitt St, Elm, 9th St, and University Ave. During this march they are protesting "the promotion of Marxism by the University of Missouri." They believe our MU president Elson Floyd is a Marxist (totally unfounded), and that the J-School and other university groups such as the Cambio Center for Hispanics are promoting immigration and an invasion of the US by Mexico. This group, along with the Aryan Skinheads and the KKK, feels that all non-whites should leave the country, by force if necessary. They also advocate an "instant death penalty" for homosexuals. If you do not support such an blatant display of hatred in our town, please join this group and invite your friends.

ATTENTION: We are currently taking pledges to donate to a minority organization to show our support for diversity! Be a part of this!! Copy and Paste the link below for more information:

Kathy Murray, Director of Campus Activities, is compiling a list of alternative activities in which students can participate. The list of activities will be in an advertisement in the Maneater this Friday.

According to Diane Dahlmann, Director of Recreation Services, Stankowsky Field is already reserved for a LaCrosse tournament on both Saturday and Sunday, all day each. So it would be difficult to hold activities on Stankowsky that afternoon.

Here are the alternative activities that we are encouraging students to participate in through the Maneater advertisement that Ms. Murray is compiling. The list is not complete yet and we are still adding to this:

Diversity Celebration at Douglas Park (Providence and Worley) At Douglas Park starting at 12 p.m., the community and MU students will gather for barbeque, discussions, and family fun. During the afternoon, there will be a Step Show, a basketball tournament, and entertainment for all!

Plenty to do on Saturday!
*Forum Theatre will be showing movies from 4-6pm for just $4.50!
*2 for 1 specials at Empire Roller Rink

Volunteers needed for Peace Ribbons!!! Four Front, MSA and Student Life are distributing multicolored ribbons for Peace through the minority organizations, Multicultural Center and the Jewish Student Association table in Brady Commons.

Friendship Association of Chinese Students and Scholars is opening up the formal dress rehearsal for China Night to the public, from 2:00 pm, in Jesse Hall, Saturday, 10 March

Students from the Theatre of the Oppressed class will be performing a very short Image Theatre piece based on the poem "First they came . . ." by Niemuller THIS THURSDAY at 3:15 p.m. at Speaker's Circle. This performance is a part of the peaceful response to the neo Nazi march in Columbia on Saturday.

SAME (Students Advocating a Multicultural Experience) is holding an open forum on Neo-Nazism and hate groups in America "Yes, the Neo-Nazis are coming...but are Their Ideals Already Here?" Memorial Union South 204, Thursday, 8 March, 7:00 pm

Hate Wall Demonstration
A wall will be constructed in the Speakers Circle next Wednesday, 14 March, to symbolize hate. Stereotypes you've heard will cover the wall and be torn down to symbolize the deconstruction of hate.

We encourage you to share this list of activities with your friends. Please look out for the Maneater for the larger list of events planned for this weekend.

First they came for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the sick, the so-called incurables, and I didn't speak up, because I wasn't mentally ill.

Then they came for the Jews, and I didn’t speak up, because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for me, and by that time there was no one left to speak up for me.
