INDEX 2007

COLUMBUS DAY WAS BORN IN COLORADO 100 YEARS AGO THIS YEAR,
AND WE INTEND TO PUT AN END TO IT THIS YEAR.

BE IN DENVER, OCTOBER 4-7, TO CHALLENGE THE ROOTS OF RACISM IN AMERICA.

• COLUMBUS IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER OF MILLIONS OF INDIGENOUS PEOPLE.
• COLUMBUS WAS A SLAVETRADER IN AFRICA BEFORE INVADING AMERICA. HE BEGAN THE SLAVE TRADE IN THE AMERICAS. HE DESERVES NO HOLIDAY, NO PARADES, NO STATUES.
• COLUMBUS DAY CELEBRATES THE DOCTRINE OF DISCOVERY – THE LEGAL PROCESS THAT STOLE INDIAN PEOPLE'S TERRITORIES, AND THAT CONTINUES TODAY.
• COLUMBUS BROUGHT A PHILOSOPHY OF DOMINATION TO THE AMERICAS THAT PERSISTS TODAY – DOMINATION OF OTHER PEOPLES, DOMINATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT, DOMINATION OF OTHER BELIEF SYSTEMS, DOMINATION OF WOMEN BY MEN.

ON OCTOBER 6TH, WE INTEND TO CONFRONT THAT SYSTEM OF DOMINATION, WE INTEND TO CONFRONT THE COLUMBIAN LEGACY IN THE STREETS OF DENVER.

JOIN US. BE PREPARED TO MAKE HISTORY.
