Mark your Calendars - THURS 4/26 4pm: National Call on Supreme Court AZ Case

from Shuya Ohno, National Field Organizer, National Immigration Forum

Please mark your calendar and join us this Thursday, April 26th at 4pm Eastern on an important national State of Play to hear from legal experts who will have attended the upcoming Supreme Court hearing on AZ's SB1070.

This week, the nation's attention will turn to immigration as the Supreme Court hears arguments on the Department of Justice's challenge to Arizona's discriminatory anti-immigrant law, SB 1070.

Undeterred by the cold and the rain in Washington DC today, faith leaders stood outside the Supreme Court to launch a 48 hour vigil to bring attention to the discriminatory law that the Court will be considering on Wednesday. There are events around the country this week, culminating in large rallies in DC and in Phoenix, where leaders and community members will stand up to deliver the message that AZ's SB1070 is discriminatory, immoral, and unconstitutional.

The Supreme Court's decision will impact all of us, in every state and community across the country. The decision will determine whether our 50 states can enact 50 different sets of immigration laws, and whether legislators practicing the politics of fear and hate will continue to abuse our communities or be forced to stop their legislative attacks.

Please join this important national call to discuss what happened, what we need to know, and what we need to do to take action together.

Please join us:
Thurday, April 26th at 4 p.m. Eastern, 3pm Central, 2pm Mountain, and 1pm Pacific.

Please call: 1-800-895-0231. Your conference title and password is "SCOTUS."

(Please note: This call is closed to members of the press. For press inquiries, please contact Katherine Vargas at kvargas@immigrationforum.org.)

Looking forward to your participation this Thursday.
