[Occupymendocino] *CORRECTION* 8/20 Emergency Training on White Supremacy

[John]

Oooops!

Sorry for the mix up! We accidentally sent you an email with the wrong date for this Sunday's <http://a.cpdaction.org/page/m/33c29a89/54c632c2/27f9deaf/4366a9a3/1132494030/VEsH/>  call with movement allies on how to fight white supremacy in our communities.

The correct date for the call is this Sunday, August 20th, at 8pm ET. (Not Aug. 23rd). We've corrected the information below and sincerely hope you will join us.

In solidarity,

The CPD Action team

Dear John,

What happened in Charlottesville, Virginia last weekend wasn’t an isolated incident.

White supremacy is a real and active threat in America today, and we have serious work to do to confront and combat it in all its forms.

Can you join me in a special Ready to Resist call to get informed and empowered to fight back against white supremacy in our communities?

 <http://a.cpdaction.org/page/m/33c29a89/54c632c2/27f9deaf/4366a9a4/1132494030/VEsE/> Please join an emergency training call this Sunday, August 20th at 8:00pm ET, on how to resist white supremacy!

CPD Action, MoveOn, Working Families Party, People's Action, Color of Change, Indivisible, #Resist, United We Dream, and other movement allies will host a discussion on white supremacy and how to fight it.

We’ll also hear from Local Progress member Charlottesville Vice Mayor Wes Bellamy, who has led the opposition to the city’s Robert E. Lee statue and introduced a reparations policy for Black residents.

Sunday's call will include:

*	a discussion of white supremacy, its history in America, and what it looks like today;
 
*	campaigns and opportunities to fight against this form of bigotry, its public symbols, and those in power who are tied to white supremacist organizations; and
 
*	guidance for how to talk to your friends, neighbors, and family about this hateful right-wing movement, and how to challenge it in your own communities.

 <http://a.cpdaction.org/page/m/33c29a89/54c632c2/27f9deaf/4366a9a4/1132494030/VEsF/> Don’t miss Sunday's training on confronting white supremacy! RSVP for this important resistance call now.

White nationalists and neo-Nazis are already planning more rallies in other cities across the country. It’s time for us all to confront this reality and work together to dismantle white supremacy, starting in our own backyards.

Thanks for being part of our resistance family. Hope to see <http://a.cpdaction.org/page/m/33c29a89/54c632c2/27f9deaf/4366a9a3/1132494030/VEsC/>  you on the call!

In solidarity,
