The United States' refusal to officially participate in the World Conference Against Racism (Durban II) gathering in Geneva at the end of April is an outrage given the long and bloody history of racism in this country and worldwide. We understand that the reluctance to fully affirm Palestinian human rights is at the core of the U.S. refusal as well as a desire to suppress demands about reparations by African Americans and others. Please join us on April 9 to learn more about these issues and sign a petition demanding the U.S. reverse its decision: http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/YES2DURBANII?e
