Rise Up Stands in opposition to the recently passed Arizona Bill SB1070 that would empower police officers to stop and interrogate every individual in the state regarding citizenship status and make it a crime to be an undocumented person in Arizona. The bill contains no safeguards against racial profiling and increases the likelihood of arbitrary arrest and detention. These are all human rights violations!!!
Rise Up Clothing has created a thought provoking tee shirt titled “Do I look Illegal.” This shirt is a great “ice breaker” to engage friends and your community about the issues. Click to see the Men’s Tee & Women’s Tee. Much thanks to Vanessa Bryant, (wife of Lakers super-star Kobe) who helped support our awareness campaign by wearing the “Do I look Illegal” shirt to game one of the Lakers playoff series against the Phoenix Suns.
Tell Arizona’s Governor to Veto SB1070!!!
