Demand Accountability from those who would support Hate media! As many of you are aware, a recent protest against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has had some ugly backlash. As a community, we set out to let Arpaio know that there were many who did not welcome him into our community. As part of this protest, and in a symbolic expression our disagreement with Sheriff Arpaio, his policies, and his promoting of his xenophobic and narrow-minded perspective in his recent book, an empty piñata with the likeness of Sheriff Arpaio was hit by local youth. As a result, the hate radio talk show host, Jon Justice (104.1 The Truth) has launched a campaign to have one of our Co-chairs, Isabel Garcia, fired from her position as a Pima County Legal Defender.Since the incident, our office has received numerous hate calls, and Jon Justice posted a few offensive videos of himself with a piñata with Isabel's likeness, caressing it and making comments about "wanting to take it home with me," among a few other comments about "chorizo" and "viva la raza." Mr. Justice has since removed the video, as well as the one that followed it, which we found to be even more offensive. Transcripts of the first video is below, as well as a short transcript written by someone who saw the video before it was removed.We ask you, as a community ally, to step up with us in defending Isabel Garcia, demand accountability from 104.1FM, and join us in a campaign to rid Tucson of hate radio. Below are some actions items you can take to join us in solidarity with Isabel, as well as some information that we think might be helpful to learning more about this situation.It is our First Amendment Right, and our duty as members of this society, to denounce anything that goes against the basic human and civil rights that ALL possess. To try to silence those that would condemn torture and racism is contrary to the rights of us all!Sign on to the letter of support for Isabel!Click to view the solidarity letter that we have created in support of Isabel, and which we ask you to sign on to.
