About this Petition Petition Letter

If you look "illegal", then that is reason enough to arrest you. We smell racial and ethnic profiling. How about you?

With the signing of Senate Bill 1070, Governor Jan Brewer has inflicted yet another historical wound upon the conscience of the nation.  The bill requires local police officers to demand proof of lawful residency from anyone they contact and who they believe is reasonably suspicious of being unlawfully present in the U.S.  This law not only sanctions racial and ethnic profiling but also weakens the fabric of our democracy.

End Racial Profiling & Destruction of Families

Dear,

I am calling on you to issue an executive order ending deportations of undocumented immigrants and raids on our communities. This action will focus national attention on the April 30 deadline for legislative action by the Senate on immigration, and signals our nation's want to stop the destruction and separation of families, if the deadline is not met.

I am asking you to speak out against the climate of hate and SB 1070. SB 1070 depends on federal immigration policing programs and to roll-back the federal immigration enforcement programs that allow local police agencies to collaborate in immigration control. The 287(g) and Secure Communities programs are encouraging the kind of hateful activity we are witnessing in Arizona.

[Your name]
