Fairness Campaign To Hold Community Conversation Regarding AZ Immigration Law

09/01/10-by Bridgette P. LaVictoire
The Fairness Campaign’s Dismantling Racism Committee is hosting “A-Z’s of Prejudice.”  The community conversation is especially focusing on the recently enacted discriminatory immigration law in Arizona and how that effects the LGBT community.  It will be held on 8 September at 6:30pm in the Louisville Main Public Library’s Centennial Room.  Admission to the conversation is free and open to the public.

According to the press release “‘A-Z’s of Prejudice’ continues the ‘People Not Profiles’ campaign launched in late July with a march and street theatre action at 4th Street Live! by a coalition of more than a dozen social justice organizations opposing the immigration law. The conversation will be co-facilitated by community organizer Tiffany Gonzalez and Fairness Campaign Coordinating Committee member Meg Stern; ACLU-KY program associate Kate Miller will present and explain the current law.”

This is the second of their conversations about dismantling racism.  All prejudices have the same root causes whether they are based upon religion, race, sexuality, gender expression, sex, etc.

Here are the details:
