STOP ARIZONA; May 29, 2010: National Day of Action against SB 1070

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

There will be protests throughout the US this Saturday to protest the new racist law that is bringing apartheid to America, SB 1070.

Get into the streets on Saturday!

In Minnesota, May 29 is also the opening day of the "historic" Fort Snelling. The original fort has actually mostly decayed away, but the government is spending millions of dollars to keep rebuilding and restoring this monument to ethnic cleansing, where natives were unjustly executed just a few generations ago and where the federal government decided that Dred Scott would remain a slave.

This law will be easy to beat if we present a United Front. Marches + Solidarity = Defeated Racist Law.

I'll probably be there in PHX. Hopefully the liberals will fuck off this time, May Day was disappointing.

I'll be marching in San Jose, California! Fascism must die and stop in Arizona!!!

I won't be able to protest because the closest protest to me is in Columbus. :crying:

I will, however, be putting flyers up in my town about the issue.

What are people's thoughts on this. The protest in my town was rather small. I hear 20,000 showed up in Phoenix. But it was a national protest, and a lot of people came in from out of town, I would think. Would people call the protests successful, useless, achieved it's purpose, or whatever?

Anything happen that was significant, the news seems to suggest it was a rather uneventful protest, despite the fact that 7,000 counter protesters were only a few miles away.

So, what's the general feeling about the action?

I wasn't able to go because I signed up too late, but from what comrades who attended told me, the march route was too long and hot, and caused significant dropouts before the end.

Where the fuck was the protest in Columbus? I didn't hear anything about it.
