In less than 24 hours, unless a court injunction blocks it Edited to add on 2/28/5:13 pm EST that there has been a partial injunction, SB1070 will be the law in the state of Arizona. Actions across the country are being planned in solidarity with the communities that will be even more unfairly targeted than they have been. I will be continuously updating this list as more information comes to me. If you know of an event not listed here, please leave a comment below or email info@vivirlatino.com.

Most of what I have is local to me here in NYC so help me expand it so as many of us can participate and be in our streets to show that we will not accept our herman@s being harassed and attacked anywhere.
