Cincinnati Immigration Rights Organizers with a message to Commissioner Selig

On September 15, 2010 we witnessed bold action from our sisters and brothers of the Cincinnati Workers Project. They lowered banners with SB 1070 - NOT IN OHIO banners at the Cincinnati Reds/Arizona Diamondbacks game. Their message was clear and concise:
- "Injustice anywhere is injustice everywhere"
- "Arizona politicians are scapegoating immigrants"
- "We need comprehensive immigration reform now!"
- "Commissioner Selig, move the All-Star game....MOVE THE GAME!"

Two people were arrested and released on disorderly conduct. The 2011 All-star game is scheduled in 2011 in Chase Field in Phoenix.
