Human Rights

January 11, 2012 marks the anniversary of the opening of Guantanamo.  The opening of such an institution has made torture and indefinite detention a prominent  issue in our world today, threatening peace and our morality.  It is our duty as citizens to uphold  peace and the idea that all humans deserve to rights and be treated in ethical ways.  Come and assemble with other groups organizing as part of the National Day of Action Against Guantanamo.

Mirgrant Rights

Join in a Mirgant Rights Vigil while community groups meet with Governor Chafee to discuss: denouncing the (in)Secure Communities Program, ending police submission to hold request from Immigration, and driver's licenses for all.  We will tell our migration stories, enjoy music, and solidarity.   Sponsored by the Todos Somos Arizona coalition (We are all Arizona).

Please come and support Human Rights Day, 10:00 a.m – 2:00 p.m.
