Communities across the nation are saying no to Arizona law SB 1070 and many are planning actions today to highlight growing resistance to Arizona-like policies in their cities and states. The events in Arizona foreshadow the dangerous direction immigration and local law enforcement take as states and localities follow in their stead and adopt 287(g) and Secure Communities agreements. Today is a day where communities across the country stand with the people of Arizona and repudiate hate legislation such as SB1070.
Arizona’s SB1070 has galvanized and unified our communities. This is a time for us to come together and beat back the further institutionalization of racist laws that are setting us on the path to a new Jim Crow. This is a new era for civil rights and justice that can unite America.
