Please join - FRI 6/1: National Call on Supreme Court AZ Decision in June: What you need to know

from Shuya Ohno, National Field Organizer. National Immigration Forum

Please mark your calendar and join us this Friday, June 1st at 1pm Eastern for an important national State of Play conference call on the impending Supreme Court decision on AZ's SB1070.

Before the end of June, the Supreme Court will announce its decision on the Department of Justice's challenge to Arizona's discriminatory anti-immigrant law.

There are four provisions of the law that are under challenge. How the Supreme Court will rule is unpredictable, but experts on the call will clearly explain the possible scenarios, what they mean, not only for Arizona, but also for the whole country, while leaders from Arizona and around the country will outline what we all need to do.

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:
Friday, June 1st at 1p.m. Eastern, 12 noon Central, 11am Mountain, and 10am Pacific.

Please call: 1-800-267-5734. 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 Friday.
