Is Wisconsin the next Arizona? An Update  Rep. Pridemore has begun circulating his draft of a Bill inspired in the infamous Arizona SB1070! He is looking for support for this racist bill, which won't be difficult in the Republican controlled House and Senate. This bill will NOT be effective in addressing any current problems that our state or country suffer because of the lack of a working, fair and current immigration reform. The draft includes several points that the AZ SB1070 included. Learn about this bill and join us to fight social justice in the front lines! Join us Saturday, March 12 as we demonstarte our solidarity for the struggle of public sector workers!

WHY: It's our 5 Year Anniversary! Since 2006, the Immigrant Workers’ Union has been working to improve the living conditions of immigrant workers in Madison and Dane county.
IWU works in many related areas, recognizing that those directly affected must be the agents of lasting, meaningful change. In addition to our ongoing projects, 2010 was the first year of a very successful summer youth program during which over 25 local high students completed well over 1,000 hours of community service. We also worked closely with independent parents’ organizations that successfully helped stop major proposed cuts to bilingual services in the Madison School District. All of this in addition to our ongoing projects such as: Know your rights workshops, 1-800 Help Line, Black Latino Unity Project, regular community forums, Parents’ Summits, May Day, and more. Most importantly, 2011 promises to be a difficult year:
We need your help to stop Pridemore’s Racist Arizona-style law!
