---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Tong Lee - Rights Working Group <[email protected]> Over this past year, community organizations and individuals concerned about the increasing incidents of the degrading and unconstitutional practice of racial profiling have joined the Racial Profiling: Face the Truth campaign (http://bit.ly/4AOgwX) and held small Conversations and large events to educate people about the pervasiveness of the problem. These Conversations have led to over 5,000 signatures gathered for a petition to the DOJ calling for a revision to their guidance on racial profiling (http://bit.ly/fiB4JK), postcards to Congress to co-sponsor the End Racial Profiling Act, and strengthening local campaigns on stopping racial profiling. Join us from December 6 – 10th and host a Conversation. We've revised the Toolkit (http://bit.ly/f8qqL4) and included new tools and resources. If you haven't had a chance to to host a Conversation this year, please consider bringing your friends and allies together to learn about the effects of racial profiling on our communities and to engage them in your local campaign or the national movement to change policies that violate our human and constitutional rights. Educating the public on racial profiling is an important step towards ending the degrading practice. Conversations will lead up to Human Rights Day on December 10th, which is an opportunity to remind everyone about the importance of standing up for our human rights. For more information about hosting a Face the Truth Conversation and to download the Toolkit, visit http://www.rightsworkinggroup.org/conversation-project. If you are hosting a Conversation or event, please register your event (http://bit.ly/dRDMfs) so we can get materials to you in a timely manner and to show our strength. If you are unable to host a Conversation, join us the week of December 6th on FACEBOOK for an online-Conversation http://on.fb.me/avNNel. Be sure to become a Fan of RWG if you haven't already to participate in the discussion. If you have any questions, please contact Tong Lee at [email protected] or (202) 591-3300 x 102. ------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------------- LAAMN: Los Angeles Alternative Media Network --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Digest: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Help: <mailto:[email protected]?subject=laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post: <mailto:[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive1: <http://www.egroups.com/messages/laamn> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Archive2: <http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]> --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yahoo!
