On July 29th, Arizona intends to legalize racial profiling with a new law known as SB1070. New Yorkers along with the rest of the nation will be rallying to resist this law and the nation will be rallying to resist this law and to call for an end to the mass detention and deportation of immigrants.
On this day immigrants and their allies will march accross the iconic Brooklyn Bridge in solidarity with Arizona in the spirit of bridging borders and uniting cultures to demand:
- Policies that affirm Family Unity, Due Process and Fairness
- That local law enforcement in Arizona and across the country focus on protecting our communities, not destroying them
- That President Obama and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) immediately halt the Criminal Alien Program, Secure Communities, 287(g), and all partnerships between ICE and local law enforcement
