Victory in Arizona! But the fight's not over yet.

Restore the Fourth Amendment Yesterday, a federal judge blocked the most constitutionally offensive provisions of Arizona's controversial immigration law, SB 1070, just one day before it was set to go into effect.

Today, we ask you to take the lead in your community by supporting a local effort to stop profiling, as well as government surveillance, where you live.

Copycat laws modeled on Arizona's have been introduced in more than a dozen states. This victory for civil rights in Arizona--which remains at risk on appeal--is hardly the end of the struggle to stop racial profiling and other law enforcement excesses.

As SB 1070 demonstrates, one of the most powerful tools in struggles over civil rights is legislative change at the local level. City and state officeholders are more accessible than their federal counterparts and have more influence over the legislatures in which they serve. We at the Bill of Rights Defense Committee have developed a strategy for stopping racial profiling city by city and town by town, and but we can't put it into action without your help.

Help us defend the Constitution, restore the Fourth Amendment, and stop profiling and government spying.

Sign up to work on an effort to stop racial profiling in your community.

We're eager to provide you with resources and assistance to take action at the local level.

In struggle,

Shahid Buttar
Executive Director
