You and I have witnessed the fallout from the current
patchwork of state immigration laws: while we win victories in California and
Illinois, we face devastating moral and humanitarian crises in Alabama and
Arizona. A stance must be taken at the federal level to ensure that we can move
forward to reform our immigration system as an entire nation.
Next month,
the US Supreme Court will take on Arizona’s extreme anti-immigrant law, SB
1070.
The impact of the Supreme Court’s decision on SB 1070
can’t be overstated. For all those who have fought back against this racist law
for nearly two years, this could be the moment our government declares once and
for all that state-sponsored hate and racial profiling will be not be
tolerated.
While the justices debate, we will be in the streets and online
across the country, calling for justice and equality under the law for all
immigrant families. We are planning for a week of action with national and
grassroots partners, to make sure the court knows that the entire country will
be following their decision.
