Pan Left members Jason Michael Aragón and Mary Charlotte Thurtle have been producing the documentary Under Arpaio that deals with the effect Sheriff Joe Arpaio has on Maricopa County, Arizona and the nation. In light of the enormous spotlight being put on Arizona at this time from SB1070, this statement from Jason and Mary with video clips of Under Arpaio (currently in production) reflects the producer's sense of urgency for the community to come together to defend against hate and division. A trailer can be viewed at underarpaio.com Image courtesy of Ernesto Yerena.

On July 29, Arizona will take center stage in the national debate on immigration. All eyes will be on us as the chaos and confusion from SB1070 will officially be in effect. The new state law mandates ID checks and targets workers in predominantly Latino communities. The law allows local police new powers and responsibilities, endorsing police and sheriff activities that have already affected our communities.
