Despite a national
boycott of the state Arizona because the racist anti-immigrant law
SB1070, one of the biggest acts in pop music, Lady Gaga is planning on
performing in Phoenix, AZ on July
31st.
Lady Gaga is not only an international pop music icon but has become a champion
in the struggle for Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans and Queer (LGBTQ)
rights.
LGBTQ activists,
especially those working within the migrant worker communities within Arizona
are asking groups & individuals to support 2 very important campaigns to
get Lady Gaga to honor the boycott over the next week.
First, here is the
link to a mass online petition calling for Lady Gaga to honor the boycott of
Arizona that organizations, groups and individuals can sign onto and circulate
widely among their networks.

And second here is the link to two
personal letters to Lady Gaga from LGBTQ migrant workers&
activists living in Arizona. These very powerful letters demonstrate the impact
of SB1070 on their communities and ask for a meeting with Lady Gaga on July
31st.
