[IMC Dispatch] Fwd: 5/01 Boston Convergence Against Capitalism (attn dave and sofia)

[Pete Stidman]

dang!  so many questions today!  

So this is what the anarchists are organizing.  But
there is major problems with it from the perspective
of the folks organizing the immigrants rally.  

This is calling for an unpermitted march, which means
cops, which means illegal immigrants are going to stay
away.  

Dave- you should really include this bit in your
story.  Jason Pramas can tell you about it, and you
should find out who he has been talking to in the
anarchist movement to hear their side of it.
