Kudos to Eva Longoria-Parker and Rosario Dawson for standing up and using their voices to protest the new immigration law in Arizona.

Here’s what Longoria-Parker said to Us Magazine:

I haven’t made it a secret that I’m strongly opposed to the Arizona law and I’ve been pretty vocal about it…I think the biggest misconception is that everybody who is dark or of color is from somewhere else. I’m ninth-generation American. I’m more American than a lot of my Anglo friends. If my father got pulled over because of the color of his skin, I could guarantee you I would be outraged.

Dawson who is the founder of Voto Latino added:

We recognize that this isn’t just a Mexican issue or a Latino issue… There are people blogging and Tweeting for everything, from the BP spill to education and healthcare…We’re all buzzing about these things, but unless we’re actually marching to the polls, nothing is going to actually change.

The new PSA campaign will air starting in September.
