Contact Your Congressional Member to Co-sponsor and Pass the End Racial Profiling Act of 2010

The End Racial Profiling Act was first introduced 2001 with strong bipartisan support. Unfortunately Sept. 11 slowed the bill’s momentum. In the nearly 10 years that passed, the practice of racial profiling expanded and continues to alienate and plague our communities. Last week the End Racial Profiling Act of 2010 was reintroduced with stronger language to protect people from being profiled on all types of public and private transportation.

Together we can pass this legislation. Let your congressional representative know that you want them to cosponsor and support the passage of the End Racial Profiling Act of 2010.

Host a Town Hall on Racial Profiling

A town hall meeting based in and sponsored by communities affected by profiling can be a helpful tool in advancing the goal to eventually end racial profiling by educating communities, elected officials and the public; building and strengthening ties with coalition partners; and speaking truth to power on campaign and local recommendations.  Town halls should happen when community organizations are committed to working together to stop racial profiling. The commitment is yours to define – educating community members, working on a local campaign, or something else - and will determine the goals of your town hall.

Sign the Petition to Help Stop Racial Profiling

It is time to face the truth about the Department of Justice guidance on racial profiling.  As written, the 2003 guidance has loopholes and omissions that allow for some of the very behavior the guidance is intended to regulate.  Sign the petition urging the DOJ to strengthen the guidance.

Have your friends, family and constiuents sign the petition in person. Download the petition then send it to RWG.
