San Diego Communities Express Solidarity With the People of Arizona and Denounce the New SB 1070 Law

April 25, 2010



San Diego, CA - On Monday April 26, 2010, community organizations from throughout San Diego will come together for a vigil in solidarity with the people of Arizona, and unite their voices with those who reject the recently signed Arizona state law SB 1070. This vigil is being convened at the Federal Building in Downtown San Diego with a call by the Raza Rights Coalition and its member collectives in order to reject the approval of a law that has been clearly designed to criminalize and punish the working people of Arizona.

"It is truly sad to witness the lack of political will on the part of the Obama administration in the effort to move on immigration reform, a reality that has motivated the extreme right wing in state of Arizona to promote and legalize the violation of civil and human rights," stated Adriana Jasso, coordinator of the Raza Rights Coalition in San Diego. Communities around the country, and most recently in Arizona, have been witness to how the Obama administration has provided operational funds to policies which have terrible consequences such as family separation. The most recent operation in the state of Arizona was the largest in the history of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) - an operation that mobilized over 800 agents in four different locations across the state. This operation is clearly part of the strategy of the Obama administration, which continues to concentrate all of its efforts on raids, arrests and deportations.

"Every community across the country must speak out, mobilize and reject SB 1070 which was just been signed into law by the governor of Arizona. It is time to be a part of history, and in an organized fashion, resist these terrible attacks that our communities face on a daily basis..." concludes Adriana Jasso. The empty promises of change and total lack of political will from politicians at the federal level can not, and must not be the source of our communities sinking further into fear and the marginalization. The initiative for profound and definitive change must originate from our communities that suffer daily the consequences of these repressive policies. Furthermore, it should be noted that these policies have been promoted by both Democrats and Republicans.

Comunidades En San Diego Expresan Solidaridad Con El Pueblo De Arizona Y Denuncian La Nueva Ley SB 1070
Adriana Jasso - Raza Rights Coalition

San Diego, CA - El día lunes, 26 de abril de 2010 en un acto de solidaridad con el pueblo de Arizona y en denuncia a la nueva ley estatal SB 1070, organizaciones comunitarias en San Diego llevarán a cabo una vigilia en el edificio federal localizado en el centro de San Diego. La Coalición Pro Derechos de la Raza, sus colectivos y la comunidad en general unen su voz para repudiar la aprobación de una ley que claramente ha sido diseñada para castigar y criminalizar al pueblo trabajador de Arizona.

"Es verdaderamente lamentable ver como la falta de voluntad política por parte de la administración de Obama hacia la reforma migratoria ha provocado que la extrema derecha en el estado de Arizona promuevan y legalicen la violación a los derechos civiles y humanos" afirmó Adriana Jasso, coordinadora de la Coalición Pro Derechos de la Raza en San Diego. Comunidades en varias partes del país y curiosamente recientemente en Arizona, han sido testigos de cómo la administración de Obama se ha enfocado en otorgar fondos a operativos los cuales tienen lamentables resultados como la separación familiar. El operativo mas reciente en el estado de Arizona fue el operativo mas grande en la historia de la agencia de ICE que empleó a más de 800 efectivos en cuatro diferentes puntos del estado. Este operativo forma parte de la estrategia de la administración de Obama que continua enfocando todo su esfuerzo en operativos, detenciones y deportaciones.

"Toda comunidad en cada rincón del país debe alzar su voz, movilizarse y denunciar la ley SB 1070 que acaba de ser firmada por la gobernadora de Arizona, llegó el momento de ser parte de la historia y resistir de forma organizada los ataques que nuestras comunidades enfrentan" concluye Adriana Jasso. El vacío y la falta de voluntad política para remediar la cuestión migratoria que les falta a los políticos no puede, ni debe ser la causa por la que nuestras comunidades se hundan en el miedo y las sombras. La iniciativa de cambios profundos y definitivos deberá desprenderse de las comunidades que día a día sufren las consecuencias de la política represiva que tanto demócratas como republicanos promueven.
