Activists Prep for SB 1070 Hearing in San Francisco
Activists Prep for SB 1070 Hearing in San Francisco
Marches planned for Monday's legal arguments

SAN FRANCISCO - On Monday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco will hear arguments over whether to reinstate portions of Arizona's immigration law -- and huge protests are planned.
People are driving, they're flying and some of them are already there. It's likely to be a repeat affair -- if you remember the protests in Phoenix, when the law was supposed to go into effect.
Irma Sanchez was inspired to go to San Francisco to voice her opposition to SB 1070. She flies out Sunday.
The artist is just one of a group headed to the Bay area. Her postcards, like the one depicting an immigrant in handcuffs, have become very popular.
"This definitely brought me out to be more open about it and vocal," Sanchez says. "I just thought I had to do something. I feel like it is my obligation to go to come full circle with this. Go to California."
Many of the same activists that lead the protests in Arizona will be in San Francisco.
"People are fired up," says organizer Annette Sexton-Ruiz, via phone. "People have woken up and realized that it's not going to take one effort or one march for this to go away... This is going to take consistent work."
Governor Jan Brewer will be in the courtroom on Monday. Her office says the taxpayers will not be paying for her trip. The travel money came out of a fund she set up to help defend the law.
The march begins at 8 a.m. Monday at a downtown church. Protesters will march half a mile to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The hearing begins at 9 a.m.
