Raza Defense Fund Supporter, We would like to thank all of you who have supported Sean Arce and Jose Gonzalez in this legal struggle that has been placed upon them and providing us with the necessary financial assistance to get us through these extremely challenging times.
On February 13, Pima County Judge Ted B. Borek dismissed the defamation case against Arce and Gonzalez calling them to pay $1 million dollars, with the stipulation that each party would pay their own legal costs.
See following Arizona Daily Star story:
http://azstarnet.com/news/local/education/precollegiate/former-tusd-teacher-s-mexican-american-studies-suit-dismissed/article_d1d2dd2d-9e73-503a-b3af-54cbacc7e253.html
While we are extremely pleased with this dismissal, this whole legal process has taken a financial and emotional toll on Arce and Gonzalez and their familias.
The costs of depositions, video recordings of depositions, legal research, court filings and other associated court costs have left Arce and Gonzalez with unpaid legal fees in the amount of $8,200.
We are again asking for your financial assistance to help Arce and Gonzalez to place this behind them by donating online or mailing a check to the Raza Defense Fund.
Online contributions can be made at:

Checks to be made in the mail can be made and sent to:

Tucson, Arizona 85701
We will keep you informed as to the amount of money that has come in.
Mil Gracias
