Welcome to Arizona: Have Your Papers Ready~ Racial Profiling Just Ahead

Brave New Foundation's Cuéntame, has made major headlines this week for its video interview with Arizona Police Officer Paul Dobson speaking out about draconian Arizona anti-immigration bill, SB1070. Officer Dobson is now under investigation for exercising his first amendment right to speak freely about the real effects of the law:

“I know people will not call the police in case of a real emergency. This law is purely racist and solely focused on Latinos. In my opinion, SB 1070 violates equal protection under the law.” Paul Dobson, Patrol Officer, Arizona

We are making a difference and our voices are being heard by hundreds of thousands of people across the country. Cuéntame’s work with Officer Dobson has been featured in USA Today, Arizona Republic, New York Daily News, FoxNews and more!

We can't stop now. We must keep fighting this unjust law that will effectively institutionalize discrimination against our Latino community. Please help us in our next step to send a giant message to the Arizona government.

If you can help us raise $10,000 by Monday, July 26, Cuéntame will purchase a billboard on a populated street in Phoenix showing the law for what it really is. The powerful line for the billboard has already been chosen on Facebook by the members of Cuéntame. Now all we need is your support.

Can you donate $10 so that we can send a powerful message to the Arizona government that we will not tolerate blatant discrimination against any minority group? http://www.facebook.com/cuentame?v=app_104...

I can't believe that Arizona is "digging in her heels" about their Immigration law. It's just a matter of time before they become they will relinquish their foolishness. Aren't the Immigrants there contributing to their economy? Remind me never to go to Arizona to work at any of their hospitals next time I see a posting for a RN job there.
