Tell Arizona’s Governor: Veto SB 1070
By Steve Ralls on 04/19/2010 @ 06:46 PM
We’re passing along this alert from our allies at Restore Fairness. Please take action today, and urge Arizona Governor Jan Brewer to veto the heinous anti-immigrant law passed her state’s legislature.
Today is the last day to put pressure on Arizona Governor Brewer to veto SB 1070, Arizona’s anti-immigrant legislation that will have chilling repercussions if signed into law.
SB 1070 dramatically expands police powers to stop, question and detain individuals for not having proper identification, practically mandating racial profiling and creating panic and fear amongst vulnerable communities. No one, including U.S. citizens, will be spared from arbitrary stops and detentions on the suspicion of being undocumented.
SB 1070 is an affront to our civil liberties. Its effects will be palpable across the United States as other states begin to follow in Arizona’s footsteps. We must take a stand against this injustice. Because when we deny fairness to any one group of people, we put all of our rights at risk.
