People Not Papers action yesterday
Filed Under:
The Hispanic Latino Coalition in Louisville held a People Not Profiles demonstration yesterday to challenge Arizona's anti-immigrant laws.
Over 100 protesters (including KFTC members) gathered outside the building housing Louisville's immigration offices to protest Arizona's controversial SB1070. After hearing speakers from several local organizations, the march progressed to Fourth Street Live, where a "Show Us Your Papers" demonstration was held.
People taking part in the action approached random people in the streets and asked them to "show me your papers, please" in order to engage them in conversation about the Arizona law.

I've heard so many great stories about this action! Thanks to all the Louisville folks who came out against racism and oppression and in solidarity with our friends in Arizona!
Great work, Louisville!
And after we figure out how absurd that is, we can all recognize that we're all human beings and that there's no such thing as an illegal person.
