People Not Papers action yesterday
Posted by: Dave Newton on July 29, 2010 at 08:00pm
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 SB 1070. 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.
