Policing & Profiling: Arizona's Racist Law and Transphobia

May 29th is a national day of action against Arizona's racist, anti-immigration bill. Communities, especially those which include immigrants and trans-women, are being policed and profiled and we need to stand-up, speak-out, and act in solidarity.

lmao. What a queer. How many guys did you fuck today?

[ndngabe74]

If you are here illegally then YOU SHOULDNT BE HERE!! Talking about driving people off lands?? You are fuckin illegal too. There are Mexicans that get angry because i can’t speak Spanish, well fuck you and learn some fuckin English. You are here "supposedly" to better yourself. Your ass should be deported if you are here illegally!!!! And nobody here in AZ racial profiles transgendered people either.

hey man thanks a lot for this video, i`m mexican, and i live in the usa as a temporary worker i have my visa and everything in order and perhaps that`s a good think but believe me i`m not any happier, i have family in the usa that are not legal and i feel trhough them the fear and anger that all this situation is bringing to everyone, oh by the way you know i`m trans too so i can feel this even more close to me, i would talk a little bit more about this in a video hope i can upload it soon!!

Wow. Banning study? Papers? Profiling? That's full ON.

[midolii]

Charles, thank you so much, another really good and informative, activist video post. You're brave to speak out and I'm sure we are many people thinking just like you. I do. And there's a need to connect intersectional between power structures that put people down because of sex, sexuality, identity, etnicity, function, class, age, body and so on.

You know this law already was in effect? They just recently decided to enforce it. Profiling isn't anything new. We do it all the time to every person we see, whether you realize it or not. If you're a citizen living in AZ (like myself and I'm half Panamanian) you have nothing to worry about. Thousands and thousands of illegal immigrants have been caught, or scared out by the enforcing of this law. Not to mention the drug war going on on our doorsteps. I believe this law is doing a lot of good.
