Thanks, Norm.  I first saw the group as they crossed the Fulton bridge over Train headed north in the rain. By the time I ran home for the camera and got back, they had advanced several blocks, and more people had joined in, most on the sidewalk which is not seen well in this photo. The bicyclist had also joined in. There were about 50-60 people at this point.

I found myself touched deeply that people in our community would quickly organize and rally people to go out. in the rain, and march against the racist laws of AZ. The governor signed this piece of crap legislation after weighing justice against the push of the tea party forces that are very active in AZ.

We need to look at when we buy that comes from the state of AZ, and boycott anything that comes out of that state. 

I am will also acknowledge that the border states are overwhelmed. The schools and health care facilities have it very hard as they try to take care of a growing influx of people. The U.S., and that means us, need to step up to the plate, and provide the border states assistance in meeting the needs of the people coming across the border, not hunt them down and ship our fellow humans back to a life of misery.

Thanks for reporting this Debbie--we are all immigrants.  How long does it take folks to recognize fascism?
