"AZ resists ALEC" is an Arizona grassroots organization with an informative web site and is planning an "Occupy ALEC" event. AZ resists ALEC:
This website is dedicated to the rising resistance against ALEC, their planned summit, and all corporate greed that would serve to perpetuate state oppression in already impoverished communities on already occupied land. Here you will find a lot more information on the link between ALEC, the private prison industry, and recent legislation like Arizona’s own SB-1070; you will find news articles, reports, and websites exposing ALEC; you will find multimedia pieces explaining the growing and explicit connections between corporate power and community oppression; you will find links to other websites and organizations building resistance in Arizona; and lastly, you will find ways to plug in.
We’re calling on all people to take a stand.
*Come to Phoenix from November 29-December 3 to tell ALEC we will not allow them to further criminalize and oppress our communities in order to fatten the coffers of their corporate members.
*Organize an action in your community for November 30th.
*Keep checking the website for updates on information, events, and actions.
*Spread the word about ALEC and how its members and their greed have affected your home, your family, your life.
