(en) France, Alternative Libertaire AL - Policy -- The street on December 7 against racism and for equality (fr)

In December 1983, twenty young immigrant-es, Marseille parties to protest against police 
violence, claiming a residence of 10 years and have the right to vote abroad-es were 
greeted by 100,000 people in Paris. In December 2013, the battle-walkers his 80s is more 
than ever. ---- This is for the group to pursue a hundred, associations (including many 
immigrant), trade unions and political organizations (including Alternative libertarian) 
call for protest on Saturday, December 7 at 14h, the square Saint Bernard (in the 18th) in 
place of the Republic. ---- The first march for equality and against racism, in 1983, 
launched a great movement of emancipation which lasted for several years. In 1984 and 
1985, other marches took place as Convergence Divergence 84 and 85. There were also many 
struggles for equal rights and against police violence during this decade, mostly due to 
police crimes. These struggles helped bring to the forefront the youth of immigrant and 
take control of the French company everyday racism she suffered.

Resist racism today
Today nothing has changed, as evidenced by the anti-Black racism against dumped Christiane 
Taubira. Racist is still discrimination in everyday life (controls facies, police 
violence, discrimination in access to housing or employment) and are reinforced by 
xenophobic and Islamophobic laws. Today more and more popular areas experiencing 
insecurity, poverty and repression. And today, as there thirty years, it is high time that 
we react, we launched a major anti-racist movement gathering all the victims of racism, 
independently organized and supported by political organizations.

No recovery!
There thirty years during marches for equality, just as today on the occasion of their 
commemoration, PS tries to cover the fire of popular anger by locking the organizational 
frameworks. In 1984, SOS Racisme creating the socialist government tried to channel and 
neutralize the great emancipation movement launched by the steps. Today, the Socialist 
Party returned to power, buried the draft voting for foreign-es (already a promise of 
Mitterrand). The PS continues to play a double game: on the one hand, he denounced the 
racist insults, but on the other, he continued racist policies of the previous government 
in particular against Roma and undocumented.

Thirty years after the stairs, so it is necessary both to inspire struggles for 
emancipation and do not be fooled by the various politicians strategies to break the self 
and immediate demands associative dynamics in neighborhoods to remove an electoral benefit .

The fight must go on!

The fight must go on!
Antiracist struggles continue today, whether schoolgirls mobilization against evictions or 
fighting for truth and justice in cases of police crimes. We must now unite these 
struggles in a racist mass movement around radical demands:
the abolition of racist laws;
the regularization of all undocumented and freedom of movement;
truth and justice in cases of police crimes and end police impunity;
the redistribution of wealth to end exclusion;
building an inclusive society free of capitalist exploitation.

All to the streets on Dec. 7 against racism and for equality!
