Description
Lawmakers in Arizona recently passed one of the harshest anti-immigrant laws in U.S. history. SB 1070 grants police the authority to demand documentation of anyone who looks like an immigrant, effectively legalizing the racial profiling of Latinos and other people of color. A discussion on why the bill in Arizona passed, and what we can do to defeat the politics of fear. Speakers: Dave VanDeusen, Vice President, Vermont AFL-CIO
Scott Novotny, Spring Alternative Program participant; Tom Macias* Arizona native and Assistant Professor, Dept. of Sociology, UVM; Tristin Adie, International Socialist Organization.
