Miercoles Movie : Face the Truth, Racial Profiling in the United States
6:36 am By Maegan La Mala · Immigration|Justice|Media|Movies
29 Sep 2010Here at VivirLatino, We have written about racial profiling, especially the impact it has had on Latino immigrant communities and how racial profiling by both local and federal law enforcement across the United States has helped to foster anti-immigrant violence by civilians.
The Restore Fairness campaign and the Rights Working Group, have just released a documentary short, Face the Truth, showcasing the devastating impact of racial profiling on communities around our country, including the African American, Latino, Arab, Muslim and South Asian communities.
The documentary brings to life a new report by the Rights Working Group released along with 275 local and national partners on the one year anniversary of the Face the Truth campaign to end racial profiling. Both the documentary and the report urge Congress to pass the End Racial Profiling Act (ERPA), highlighted in a Congressional briefing on Thursday, September 30th in Washington D.C.
