Honorable Mayor Walkup,
On behalf of Coalición de Derechos Humanos and the May 1st Coalition, we respectfully request that Mayor and Council vote to authorize the City Attorney to file a lawsuit against the State of Arizona, challenging implementation of SB 1070. As you know, Mayor Phil Gordon in Phoenix, Arizona, has already filed such a lawsuit. The safety of our community and the Constitutions of the United States and Arizona depend on your leadership.
Please include us in any public sessions to discuss the ramifications of this law and your actions.
In Solidarity,
Kathryn Rodriguez, Coordinator
Coalición de Derechos Humanos

Come on, Tucson friends and allies-- we would like to see triple the turnout of Tuesday-- ALL OUT!!!
LET'S DO THIS BIG AGAIN! VETO SB 1070 STOP RACIAL PROFILING! STOP THE RAIDS!
Friday April 23, 2010
Meet at Armory Park at 2:00pm
We will march to downtown Federal Building at 3:00pm and rally!
- Why we're marching: Our community joins in opposition of Senate Bill 1070. Arizona senators passed a bill Monday April 12th that would require law enforcement officers to question anyone they might be in the country illegally. Anyone may be questioned if there is "reasonable suspicion" including appearance.
- What we're doing: We are demanding that Governor Jan Brewer VETO SB 1070 & take a stand against these hateful bills as a collected disturbed & troubled community.
*Please distribute widely. Bring water if you can. If
there is any way you can help please do.
Arizona State Legislation: These bills are authored and supported from the same hateful group of people. These attacks are not only targeting un-documented but a direct attack to our entire community, the quality of education, the quality of living, and the safety of our city.
HB 2382:Department of Education shall compile data on
un-documented students and withhold state funding for those
un-documented students.
HB2281:(bill attacking ethnic/raza studies) states that any course, class, instruction, or material may not be primarily designed for pupils of a particular ethnic group as determined by the State Board of Education & Superintendent of Instruction. State aid will be withheld from any school district or charter school that does not comply.
SB 1097:(bill attacking non-citizen students) states that the
Department of Education will collect data on school districts'
populations of non-citizen students and their identities. Data will include research on impact of non-citizen students' enrollment, and cost to taxpayers per non-citizen student. Based on these data reports the State Superintendent of Instruction can withhold state aid for those non-citizen students.
GUIDELINES: Please do not throw trash on the ground! You can be arrested for littering. Peaceful demonstration, stay on the sidewalk at all times, do not disrespect anyone else, do not
disrespect a state official, please follow the law (no drugs,
threats, aggressive behavior, etc) Do not talk to press if they do not have a media badge from a recognizable press outlet, there will be infiltrators. We should not attack or verbally abuse the Governor or counter-protesters. We are here demanding respect, let's not disrespect anyone.
Call Governor Jan Brewer and demand she veto SB 1070: (602)542-4331 & 1-800-253-0883 |
