Flood the Hellenic Community of Vancouver
https://www.facebook.com/events/1104869976303603/
On this day from 9 AM – 5 PM
Contact by phone, email, social media
Hosted by UBC Students Against Bigotry
Join STUDENTS AGAINST BIGOTRY as we let the Hellenic Community of Vancouver know *exactly* how we feel about its collaboration with fascists.
Did you know that the HCV plans to offer a stage to Stefan Molyneux and Lauren Southern — far-right extremists, white supremacists, "scientific" racists, Islamophobes, anti-immigrant crusaders, and guests of the so-called "Free Speech Club"?
Seriously.
On Monday, March 11, between 9am and 5pm, we'll all use every available means to tell the HCV that we won't tolerate fascists in our communities.
Call, email, write Facebook comments and messages, tweet, Instagram... Reach out to them any way you can!

Here are just a few points you may wish to raise:
- Why are you hosting an event so toxic it was forced out of UBC's Chan Centre, with a guest (Southern) so violently racist that she was permanently banned from entering the UK?
- Are you aware of the implications of hosting such an event on the unceded traditional territory of the Musqueam, Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations?
- Did you know Molyneux suggests that non-whites are genetically inferior, and that the Holocaust was an "overreaction" to "Jewish-led communism"?
- Did you know Southern has written a book railing against immigrants and Islam, and that she was detained by the Italian coast guard for working with a white supremacist organization to interfere with a rescue operation in the Mediterranean?
- Is hosting this event really in the best interest of your organization? What does the wider Greek community think about this?
- Is this event in line with your mandate to encourage multicultural communication, and with the Bible verse (John 4:7) quoted on your homepage?
- What is your affiliation with the so-called "Free Speech Club," the People's Party of Canada, and neo-nazi groups like Golden Dawn?
- Will you formally apologize to the community for the harm you've done, and publicly distance yourselves from those involved with the planned event?
