Leaves a bad taste in my mouth that these groups would want to touch baseball, to hurt our own local team, the Chicago Cubs... We'll see how many people show up and if it even makes the news! Wonder if there will be counter protesters? The press release mentions it's a nationally televised game -will they try to sneak in signs?


Support the Boycott to the Arizona Diamondbacks

Press Conference/Picket: Cubs Vs. Arizona (SB1070)
Thursday, April 29, 2010, from 12:00pm to 1:00pm
Wrigley Field, Addison ave. and Clark St., Chicago

Due to the recent passage of the anti-immigrant/xenophobic bill SB1070 -signed into law by Gov. Jan Brewer, Chicago Cubs fans will rally against the Arizona Diamondbacks (SB1070) OUTSIDE of Wrigley Field.
********************************

WHAT: A protest outside of Wrigley Field Stadium on April 29, 2010 to encourage fans to take a stand against and turn their backs on the Arizona Diamondbacks.

A call to all Chicago Cubs fans attending any of the four games this weekend to not attend or bring signs against SB1070 in solidarity with the people who are being targeted in Arizona.

WHERE: Wrigley Field Stadium (Corner of Addison and Clark) at 12:00 PM CST on Thursday, April 29.
********************************

We stand in solidarity with our undocumented/documented Arizona bro. and sis. and will NOT tolerate this unconstitutional racist law here or anywhere. Today AZ, tomorrow?
We are going to give the Arizona Diamondbacks a message to send back home!

* This is a nationally televised game-if you know people who will be attending have them bring signs against SB1070 in solidarity.

* Bring sings and banners to the protest!

* Outside we'll remind fans about what Arizona Diamondback owners really stand for.
