While especially draconian sections of Arizona's SB 1070 were put on hold Wednesday, a diversity of Santa Cruz residents still turned out for a rally and march in protest as the proposal became law in our neighboring state. Perhaps it's because the stay is likely temporary, perhaps because July has been the deadliest month in years on the border, or maybe its because the Governator just vetoed overtime for California farm-workers. Maybe we wanted to demonstrate the power of solidarity between communities too often divided.

Given the police shootings of ten days ago and the lack of response from the Bay's famed anarchist scene, I wanna ask with utmost respect and sincerity: where the hell are y'all at?

On July 29th, a diverse showing of Santa Cruz residents rallied at Depot Park and marched up Pacific Avenue to the town clock in protest of Arizona's Senate Bill 1070, a legislative act that is said to be the broadest and strictest anti-immigrant measure in decades. The demonstrators proclaimed solidarity with all communities resisting SB 1070, a law they say scapegoats migrants, and also voiced outrage to local police and sheriffs working with the federal Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE) within Santa Cruz County neighborhoods and jails.
