We are 5 days away from making history.
In the last month, local, national, and international pressure has grown with vigils, fasts, protests, high school walkouts, boycotts, and civil disobedience -all in repudiation of SB1070, a law that creates 21st century apartheid in the United States. From Phoenix to Mexico to South Africa-the eyes of the world are watching the atrocious human rights crisis while President Obama and his administration fail to act.
The Weekend of May 29, 2010, will be monumental. On Friday the 28th, we'll hold a Festival for Human Rights with Olmeca, Outernational, and more performs. On May 29th, people of conscience from throughout the United States and Phoenix will march in the tens of thousands to demand an end to the criminalization of our communities. On May 30th, we'll host a movement assembly to share strategy and visions for what's next.
At the same time, cities all across the country are planning actions to stand in solidarity with Arizona and to push back against the wave of police/immigration collaboration in all our communities. Together, we demand that President Obama stand on the right side of history and take immediate and concrete action to stop SB1070.
What can you do?
Join us in making history in Phoenix, Arizona on May 29th! March with tens of thousands of people from throughout the country as we collectively raise our voices to say: "We are All Arizona."
