Yesterday I had the opportunity to be with hundreds of Union members from 32 different Unions within the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor and we all rode in a bus for 16 hours to Phoenix and back. It was such a great experience to see so many people willing to make the sacrifice to join in solidarity with Arizonians against SB1070. The most inspiring part of the day was listening to the stories of the brave women and men who kept the vigil alive in front of the State Capitol for over 100 days and the stories of Felipa Solario, Erika Andiola, Tina Flores and Tomas Robles.
We all need to find a way to support our brothers and sisters in Arizona so they can overcome the bigotry and racism of narrow minded politicians.
