Campaña para que el juego de las estrellas del beisbol no se lleve acabo en Arizona

La organización, Presente.org, ha lanzado una campaña para presionar al comisionado de las grandes ligas (MLB por sus siglas en inglés) que cambie la cede para el juego de las estrellas del 2011.

Acá está el mensaje que han preparado; urgen a la gente que envíe este mensaje a toda la mara. ¡Ah pues, a promulgar este mensaje se ha dicho!

Dear friend,
Major League Baseball players and coaches are speaking out strongly against Arizona’s new anti-immigrant law, SB 1070. The MLB is more than 25% Latino, and they don’t want to play ball in a state where they and their Latino fans are subject to racial profiling.

These players need our support. Will you join me in demanding that Major League Baseball move the 2011 All-Star Game — now scheduled for Phoenix — as long as racial profiling is legal there?

The All-Star Game represents one of the highest-profile events every season in baseball — second only to the World Series. As much as $60 million will be spent in the host region during All-Star Game weekend.

MLB is already feeling the pressure, and if they pull the game from Phoenix, it would send a powerful message that extremism and discrimination will cost Arizona.
Please sign the letter to MLB Commissioner Bud Selig, and ask your family and friends to do the same:
