Milwaukee coalition builds anti-Nazi protest for Sept. 3

A progressive coalition is building in metro Milwaukee and beyond to counterprotest a planned Nazi rally set for Sept. 3 in West Allis, a working-class suburb just west of Milwaukee. A planning meeting on Aug. 21 included a broad range of labor, community and student individuals and organizations to report on counterprotest activities and to discuss further organizing efforts.

Larry Hales, a national leader of the Bail Out the People Movement from New Jersey, said at that meeting: “The Nazis may still yet be a fringe element on the right but are no less dangerous for it. Just as the ultraright Tea Party was able to attract some white workers on the basis of chauvinism, so could the Nazis. The threat of fascism, whether Nazi or Nazi lite, is a real threat.

“This is especially true,” Hales continued, “in the wake of a tremendous uprising in Wisconsin that moderate political forces are attempting to tamp down amid the severity of the capitalist crisis.” Hales was in Wisconsin from Aug. 14 to 21 supporting the people’s struggle and organizing to directly confront the Nazis.
