Rally at Major League Baseball Headquarters to Move the 2011 All-Star Game Out of Arizona!
Noon on Thursday, July 8
245 Park Ave. (46th Street and Park Avenue)

The 2011 Major League Baseball All-Star Game is scheduled for Phoenix next July and pressure is building on MLB Commissioner Bud Selig to move the game out of Arizona to send a clear message to the state's government:

Baseball is all-American but discrimination is not.

Sports have long played an important role in pressuring governments to make policy change. Join the NYCLU and its allies in the civil and immigrants’ rights movements next Thursday to demand that Major League Baseball move the All-Star Game out of Arizona until all baseball players and fans can live and visit Arizona without fear and free from discrimination.
