When Arizona passed its draconian anti-immigration law which is now going through the court system, Democracy for NYC members searched for ways to stop the terrible law and stand up for civil rights: ~ DFNYC joined NY-based immigrants' rights, civil rights and social justice organizations to send a letter urging Commissioner Kelly to condemn AZ anti-immigrant law. Click here to go to the page here at our website where we've posted the letter. ~ Bonnie Maslin made buttons that say "I Am an Illegal Immigrant," which were passed out at our candidate forum in May. ~ Democracy for NYC members at Linkups decided to send a letter to the Major League Baseball Players' Association urging a vote among its members to boycott the 2011 All Star Game unless that game scheduled to be in Arizona is either moved or the discriminatory law (SB 1070) is rescinded. Click here to go to the page here at our website where we've posted the letter. |
