Biggers on Democracy Now!
CultureStrike’s Jeff Biggers speaks on Democracy Now! about Arizona–its bizarre politics and how it mirrors social and cultural trends across the country, both inspiring and disturbing:
Last week a federal judge lifted an injunction against a key component of Arizona’s controversial anti-immigrant law, S.B. 1070, requiring police to check the immigration status of people they stop before releasing them. On Saturday, hundreds of protesters marched in Phoenix to protest the law which they say enables racial profiling. As the “show me your papers” law goes into effect, we’re joined by journalist Jeff Biggers, author of the new book, “State Out of the Union: Arizona and the Final Showdown Over the American Dream.”
