Hear from participants in this frontline struggle against the fascist anti-immigrant SB1070. Discuss upcoming plans to continue this battle and to build the movement for revolution. On July 29, Arizona's anti-immigration law, SB1070, went into effect. Revolutionary activists from Los Angeles were part of building resistance to the law, declaring a "No Deportations Zone," in a Phoenix barrio, demonstrating in the streets, bringing, "The Revolution We Need ... The Leadership We Have," to Phoenix and Tucson. They said: "We don't have an immigration problem. We have a capitalism problem."
They'll talk about the federal court injunction that blocked the implementation of some provisions of the law, but has not stopped the fascist offensive against immigrants in Arizona. At the same time, there are very real and bitter disagreements within the ruling class over how to control and repress immigrants. They will describe the effect of this law among immigrants and those who stand with them and among those who are trying to drive them out of the state. They will report on the developing fascist movement against immigrants and the raids and roundups as well as the demonstrations in the streets against SB 1070 and the developing resistance.
