Rally in Tempe against SB 1070!
Date: Thursday, June 24, 2010 TONIGHT
Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Location: Tempe City Hall, 31 East Fifth Street (between Mill and College)
Street: 31 East Fifth St.
City/Town: Tempe, AZ

Come down to Tempe this Thursday and show support for Tempe residents organizing against SB 1070 (the "show me your papers" law)! There will be a rally outside of the Tempe city hall during the city council meeting, this is a protest and opportunity for residents and supporters to speak out against enforcement of this unjust and racist law. This event is family friendly, so invite your friends, family, and neighbors who also oppose SB 1070. Let's show the city council that Tempe residents, along with supporters from across the valley, want a safe and free Tempe for everyone!

This one is in the evening, but make sure to bring plenty of water as well.

[donald]

God dammit!!!!

I didn't know about this until just now, I am stuck here at work till 11pm tonight, Sorry guys I would be there otherwise.

[donald]

how was the Rally?

[Jacki O.]

it was good! there were a good number of people there. they were waiting for the tempe city council to open up the floor for citizens to speak about issues that concern them, but the council was stalling so i took off before i got to see if they let anyone speak about the issue.

peeps in tempe want the city to officially reject sb1070 and not enforce it within city limits should it go into effect statewide on july 29th (my birthday! yay! Happy birthday to me!)

i will post pics soon.

A very good read, forwarded to me by Kimber.

It's an editorial in July's Harpers Magazine.

Harper's Tea Party in the Sonora

You are supposed to pay for a subscription to read this, so I might only have this PDF up for a limited amount of time. Please read this while it is available.

some potentially good news some-what related to SB1070

Arizona 2007 Employer Sanctions Law is headed to the Supreme Court

The Supreme Court is expected to hear arguments in October. And, then a decision will likely be handed down in spring 2011.

I just got that in my email. That was in the AZ Republic.

Jacki O. started this thread months ago with a site I just focused on and posted again days ago. That's a good example of not paying attention on my part. Just saying, there's a lot of information out there that we might never have searched for or paid attention to.
