Driving without an AZ license
is apparently cause to suspect one is in the country illegally.
Funny how mine just got lost.

---------this in today from my friends at PUENTE---------
Today, SB1070 goes into effect. The courts have failed us, allowing racial profiling to be made law. Here
in Maricopa County, we already live 1070 every day under Arpaio.
According to the Department of Justice, he enacts the 'worst case of
racial profiling' they have ever seen. Judge Bolton's recent ruling, to
allow section 2b to take effect today, will only expand the human
rights crisis in Arizona. The police can no longer protect and serve our communities, but only racially profile us.
Ahora la SB1070 entro en efecto. Las cortes nos han fallado, dejando que el perfil racial se haga ley. Aquí en el condado deMaricopa, ya vivimos con la SB1070 todo los días con Arpaio. Como el Departamento de Justicia a dicho ‘ Arpaio a cometido el peor caso de perfil racial’ que han visto. Hoy la juez Bolton a dejado que la sección 2b entre en efecto, esto solo incrementara la crisis de derechos humanos en Arizona. La policía ya no nos puede proteger y servir, solo detenernos por perfil racial.
We will remember today
as not only the day that 1070 went into effect, threatening to separate
our families and communities. We will also remember today as the
birth of a new era of the struggle for human rights, justice, and
dignity in Arizona, a struggle that will not stop until we win. We have seen that we can depend on no one but ourselves to turn the tide from hate to human rights. We know that building our community's power is the way we will stop deportations and family separation. We know that together we are strong and that together, we can overcome Arpaio, 1070, and police-ICE collaboration. When we unite and take brave action, we are unstoppable.
Recordaremos este día no solo como el día que la SB1070 entro en efecto amenazando a separar nuestras familias ycomunidades
So today, more than ever, we need you to join us in the struggle for
human rights and dignity that is happening right now in Arizona. As
many before us have said, and as we know now is true, when injustice
becomes law, resistance becomes duty. This is the moment we fulfill our
duty by organizing and growing the grassroots movement against hate,
racism, and deportations.
Ahora mas que nunca necesitamos que nos acompañen en la lucha por
los derechos humanos y la dignidad que esta pasando en Arizona. Como
muchos antes de nosotros han dicho, y ahora sabemos que es verdad,
cuando la injusticia se hace ley, la rebeldía se hace obligación. Este
es el momento que efectuamos nuestra obligación en organizarnos y crecer el movimiento del pueblo contra el odio, racismo y las deportaciones.
Call to Struggle/Llamado a La Lucha:
1. WE FIGHT FEAR: We
continue to organize our community as we know that the way we will stop
hate is by building a movement based on the power that already exists
in our own families, neighborhoods, and communities. As our members who
travelled with the No Papers, No Fear Ride for Justice doing civil
disobedience here and at the Democratic National Convention showed us,
we are safer when we organize and come out of the shadows. We have
learned how to organize to stop deportations and family
separation through know your rights trainings and by building peaceful
neighborhood defense networks. Send us an email at info@puenteaz.org to join our next Curso de Defensa, or to help us organize one in your neighborhood.
1. LUCHAMOS CONTRA EL MIEDO: Organizando
a nuestra comunidad, ya sabemos que pararemos el odio creando un
movimiento basado en el poder que ya existe en nuestras familias,
barrios y comunidades, como los que han viajado en la caravana Sin
Papeles Sin Miedo nos han mostrado hacienda desobediencia civil aquí y en Carolina del Norte,
estamos mas seguros cuando nos organizamos y salimos de las sombras.
Sabemos organizar para parrar deportaciones y la separación de familias,
ensenando los derechos y creando bases de redes de protección. Mándenos
un mensaje
a info@puenteaz.org para involucrarse en nuestro próximos curso de defensa.

2. WE FIGHT HATE: SB1070
poses a moral dilemma that everyone must answer: will you comply with
hate or will you side with the struggle for human rights and dignity?
We demand that every city, every police department, every school, and
every institution in Arizona refuse to comply with SB1070 by not
allowing their officers to racially profile. To businesses, we ask your
support in not complying with 1070 by becoming Human Rights Zones.
Those that do not we will boycott.
2. LUCHAMOS CONTRA EL ODIO: La SB1070 crea un dilema moral
que todos tendrán que contestar: cumplirás con el odio o estarás de el
lado de los derechos humanos y la dignidad? Le pedimos a todas la
ciudades, municipios, departamentos de policía, escuelas, o cualquier
otra institución en Arizona que NO cumpla con la SB1070, no dejando que
sus oficiales cometan violaciones de perfil racial a nuestra comunidad. A
negocios les pedimos su apoyo al igual no cumplir con la ley y a
negocios que estén al favor les haremos boicot.
3. WE FIGHT DEPORTATIONS: We
know that Arizona cannot deport people on its own. President Obama can
follow the brave example that undocumented people have set by taking
immediate action to stop deporting Arpaio and 1070's victims by ending
Secure Communities in Arizona. Sign the petition at bit.ly/potus1070.
3. LUCHAMOS CONTRA LAS DEPORTACIONES: Sabemos que Arizona no puede deportar a personas solo. El presidente Obama puede
seguir la valentía que la gente indocumentada a mostrado y tomar acción
inmediata y parar las deportaciones de las victimas de la SB1070 y
Arpaio, con solo terminar el programa de comunidades seguras en Arizona
firma la petición aquí bit.ly/potus1070.
