Dear Friends/ Queridos amigos:
Acabi de firmar un pedido para boicotear Arizona hasta que su injusta y radical legislacion de inmigracion sea retirada. Por favor les ruego que se unan enesta accion.
I just signed a pledge to boycott Arizona until its new radical and unjust immigration legislation is repealed, reversed by the courts, and/or superseded by comprehensive federal immigration. Will you join me in signing the pledge?
I'm sure you have heard the uproar over Arizona's new immigration legislation, SB 1070. Have you been wondering what you can do to voice your disgust with this law, which essentially condones racial profiling as accepted police practice?
Well, here's your opportunity!
This morning, NCLR joined with the Asian American Justice Center (AAJC), the National Action Network (NAN), the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights, the National Puerto Rican Coalition (NPRC), and the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) to announce a boycott against the state of Arizona in protest of SB 1070.
Now that we've made a public stand to protest this unjust law, we ask that you make a personal pledge to boycott intolerance with us.
So I'm sure you are wondering what this all means. Here's the breakdown:
First, join us in asking Major League Baseball to remove its All-Star Game from Arizona. A significant portion of the players in the game would be at risk of being profiled once they are off the field and out of uniform—moving the game seems more than reasonable, wouldn't you say?
In addition, by signing the pledge, we commit to carefully considering whether the dollars we spend as consumers of goods and services could end up supporting, directly or indirectly, the perpetuation of this unjust law. If you represent an organization, we ask that you refrain from holding any conventions, conferences, special events, or major meetings involving significant travel to Arizona from out of state, while this law is in force.
We understand that this is not an action to be taken lightly. However, it is clear that the negative impact from the systemic profiling and discrimination that will occur as a result of this unjust law far outweighs the short-term inconveniences of this campaign. So we commit to continuing the boycott until SB 1070 is repealed, reversed by the courts, or superseded by comprehensive federal immigration reform.
Will you and/or your organization stand with us and pledge to boycott Arizona until SB 1070 is repealed?
Americans are rightfully and legitimately concerned with the broken state of our immigration system. But for Arizona to enact an unconstitutional law that invites racial profiling and ethnic discrimination against entire communities is not the right way to move forward. Instead, Congress must take the lead and fulfill its responsibility to fix the broken immigration system before other states follow Arizona's misguided example.
Sincerely,

We hope you stand with us against this fundamentally un-American law and join us, united in this effort to protect the civil rights of all Americans by boycotting intolerance. http://action.
