Arpaio Protest. Nov 30, Cronkite.

From Matt at the Phoenix Immigrant Rights List-serve:
------

The event starts at 7pm, but it would be a good idea to get there by 6:30.  It's in the Cronkite building (which is off of Central just east of Civic Space Park).  Public transit would be the best way to get there.  Here's the link to the event - http://cronkite.asu.edu/node/722

Date:
Monday, November 30, 2009
Time:
6:30pm - 8:00pm
Location:
ASU Downtown

For the second time in 2009, Joe Arpaio has been invited to speak at the ASU campus.

Arpaio targets and violates the human rights of the Native and Latino communities.. We are students who come from those communities that are under attack by Arpaio and MSCO.

We will not allow this event to take place without expressing our concerns against Arpaio. We will unite to protest Joe Arpaio and allow him to witness OUR 1st Amendment right to protest a racist sheriff.

To be clear: We are not trying to silence anyone - including Mr. Arpaio. The point of this protest is to voice the counter-opinion, not represented by the forum, and to hold the University and Cronkite School accountable for an irresponsible choice of speaker.
