Join us and Zack De La Rocha this saturday as we protest Arpaio and 287g in Phoenix AZ.
Friday night will be Noche de Cultura, doors will open at 7pm 10 dollar donation.Saturday May 2nd is the march to Tent City
We will meet at 8:00 AM at 100 W. Washington at the Wells Fargo Tower where tax payers pay 675,000K/year for his rent in luxury office suites while vital programs are slashed.
We will march to the jails where his abusive continues of murder and mistreatment of innocent people continue even after losing his Jail accreditation several months ago.
Broken arms, dislocated jaws, vulgarities, intimidation, are part of the daily routine at Maricopa County Sheriffs Office detention facilities. Disregarding the evidence, Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano seems to favor the prison model whereby detainees believed to be undocumented can be interrogated, and deported once local law enforcement brings them into jail. The human rights violations of members of this vulnerable population have been documented and testified about in the recent Congressional Hearing on the 287 (g) program overseen by the Department of Homeland Security.
Now, at the request of the victims who are out on an Immigration Stay of Deportation, while their case is being heard, on behalf of those brave women who smuggled a letter to be presented to Congress; we will walk from Sheriff Joe headquarters to Estrella, Durango, and Tent City jails. Puente representatives fear that Sheriff Arpaio will punish the prisoners by putting them in Lock Down, denying visitation rights, and taking away their recreation activities the day of the walk. We will not sit idly by while human rights abuse continues unabated at the hands of 287(g) trained deputies.
