May Day 2010
With the news of shocking proposed racist legislation in Arizona, it seems more crucial than ever to support Immigration reform. This Saturday, a coalition of community and student groups are cosponsoring a Day of Action to Advocate for the Rights of Workers and Immigrants. A rally is planned on the Commons starting at 3:30. There will be a concert from 4:30-6:00.
The movement to boycott all things Arizona has begun. Some California truck drivers are refusing to deliver in Arizona; baseball fans have sworn off attending Diamondback games in their cities. You can find a list of Arizona businesses and links to other sites at this facebook page. Perhaps it is time for Tompkins County to adopt a similar boycott promise.
