Haere Atu, Fascists - "alt-right" not welcome in Aotearoa
Haere Atu, Fascists - "alt-right" not welcome in Aotearoa
Date: 5 July 2018
“Auckland Peace Action
(APA) calls on the Minister of Immigration to refuse racist
hatemongers Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern entry to New
Zealand. These prominent alt-right fascists are intending to
travel to New Zealand to hold a public events in early
August,” said APA member Valerie Morse.
“We stand
in solidarity with the Muslim Community in Aotearoa who are
opposing these fascists. If they come here, we will confront
them on the streets. If they come, we will blockade entry to
their speaking venue.”
“Lauren Southern was
refused entry to the United Kingdom for distributing racist
material. She is the mouthpiece for violent anti-Muslim,
anti-immigrant actions. She even boarded a boat in the
Mediterranean that shot flares at medical boats seeking to
rescue refugees who were drowning in the
water.”
“Stefan Molyneux is a white supremacist
who says people of colour are racially and genetically
inferior to whites. He is an anti-semite and a believer in
eugenics.”
“We are concerned that right-wing
extremism is reaching into our communities through
sophisticated propaganda and subversive strategies creating
and exploiting vulnerabilities that can ultimately lead to
acts of violence. It is imperative that this type of racism
is given no room to be promoted and encouraged in
Aotearoa.”
“Lauren Southern and Stefan Molyneux
have a long history of racist hate speech that has incited
hate, racism and violence against people of colour and
migrants. They will be disruptive to our community. These
speakers are a rallying call to right wing hate groups in
New Zealand and must be stopped.”
“These people
want to empower local racists and to encourage racist
violence. They come to recruit people to their fascist
ideology."
"We are preparing to take action to stop their public event if the Minister fails to do so. We encourage people across Auckland to join us and say NO to hate.”
