Arpaio Protest Primer

Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine Calls on Fans to Turn the Tide Against Hate, Join him on March in Phoenix, Arizona. Famous Lead Singer to Join Thousands to Denounce Sheriff Joe Arpaio's Out of Control Intimidation and Humiliation

Who: National Day Laborer Organizing Network, Puente Arizona, and Zack de la Rocha

What: March to Stop the Systematic Persecution of Migrants and Latinos in AZ.

Where: March Start Location for Feb 28th: 300 E Indian School Rd, Phoenix, AZ 85012

When: March to Stop the Hate in Phoenix to be held 9:00 am on February 28.

"Recently the nation witnessed the ritual humiliation of migrants in a spectacle evocative of some of the most horrific episodes of human history," explains Pablo Alvarado, Director of the National Day Laborer Organizing Network. "People across the country are outraged at the shameful violations of human rights perpetrated by the Maricopa County Sheriffs and they are being moved to action."

In the last month Sheriff Joe Arpaio intensified his on-going escalation of attacks against Latinos by segregating the county jail and parading undocumented migrants shackled in a chain-gang into "tent city." He erected and surrounded the tent with an electric fence in a grotesque display of human degradation.

Zack de la Rocha of Rage Against the Machine responded to the news by saying, "To witness what is happening in Arizona and remain neutral is to be implicated in human rights violations that are occurring right here on US soil against migrants. History will not be kind to Joe Arpaio. He will be remembered with other infamous sheriffs like Bull Connor who subjugated and terrorized communities for shortsighted political gain. I hope everyone will join me in protesting Sheriff Joe."

Humanleague002?

In your vid it says the guards beat him to death. Was anything done about the mans death?

[Humanleague002]

The only way his death was discovered was by an anonymous call to Phoenix NewTimes. A laywer picked up on the case but it hasn't gone to court yet. Wrongful death lawsuits from Arpaio's jails number at least 60. Although large financial settlements are collected, no guard has ever been held accountable.

You all are funny, how many people really showed up .......100??. There was more Pro Joe on the side of the street. I know I was there. Just come here the right way!

[Humanleague002]

Durffy,

You live in a fantasy world or you are just a lyer.

Around 3000 marched. The lazy Arpaio supporters had around 150. They barely covered one city block-we covered several miles. Look at the videos released from your side. We out numbered your side over 10 to 1 easily. I was also there. Why are you afraid of the truth?

Zack de la Rocha, awesome work against the racist fascists. I am concerned that even the so-called 'patriot' libertarian, who do alot to expose 9/11 truth are, unfortunately either with, or are pandering to these kkk/minutemen types--and are giving good causes a bad name by association..Why on earth was this video flagged? And if you ever see this, that is the best song ever, ever.

[Humanleague002]

The minute men, Pro=Arpaio Koolaid drinkers and assorted racist groups flag everything I post. It's there way of protesting free speech which they oppose even though they wont admit it.

[nirbmtrREEEPR]

But in all acuality all people of the world need to stand up together cause the same people control every body no matter what country you come from. Then this situation wouldnt even be happening.

Finally, the Law Goes After Joe Arpaio -- the Most Abusive Sheriff In America

House Judiciary Committee Chairman

John Conyers, Jr. (D-Mich.), and Immigration Subcommittee Chairwoman Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.), Constitution Subcommittee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), and Crime Subcommittee Chairman Bobby Scott (D-Va.) called on Attorney General Eric Holder and

Arpaio and his goons are even more evil than the criminals they oversee. The whole MCSO system is broken and corrupt. They have personalized handbooks for rules by Arpaio himself. By the time the Dept of Justice and Homeland Security get done with them they will be shut down. In order to clean out the corruption in Maricopa, at least 60% of the satff must be replaced. Granted jail should not be a fun place but that should not allow people with badges to get away with felonies.

[noselfnoproblemo]

I was just in Durango and it was the most degrading thing Ive ever experienced. Wait till YOU or your grandmother do something petty and you get treated like an animal for a week or more. Then tell me that what hes doing is right. If you work for him, I wish you DEATH you piece of shit D.Os!!!!! The people running his jails are the most inhumane/cruel, evil people Ive ever encountered. I dont even kill bugs but Death TO ANY "D.O. WORKING AT HIS JAILS!!!!!!

[daemonicbeauty]

We are doing something about his death and discrimination. Join us. *spooky music*
