July 7 and 8: ACLU NM Hosts Public Forums on AZ Racial Profiling Law in Santa Fe and Albuquerque

From ACLU-NM:
In April, the State of Arizona passed a discriminatory, un-American law known as SB 1070 that mandates racial profiling of suspected illegal immigrants.

This affront to our cherished values of freedom and fairness is being challenged by the ACLU and other civil rights groups in the courts, but until it is blocked, it is imperative that New Mexicans understand how the law may impact them as they travel through Arizona.

Come hear ACLU-NM Executive Director Peter Simonson and immigration attorney Becca Kitson discuss what SB 1070 means for New Mexicans and how you can protect your rights when traveling in Arizona:

In Santa Fe on Wednesday, July 7
5:45 to 7:45 PM, at the South Side Library (5699 Jaguar Drive)

and in Albuquerque on Thursday, July 8
6:00 to 8:00 PM, at the UNM Law School, Room 2401 (1117 Stanford Drive Northeast)
