Visit your Congressional Members

Face the Truth campaigns partners will be visiting their Congressional Members to discuss the campaign policy goals.  If you are planning to visit your congressional members or are interested, download our 2011 RWG Legislative Visits Toolkit to prepare you for your visit.  If you have questions, contact Pabitra at pbenjamin@rightsworkinggroup.org.

Host a Conversation to Stop Racial Profiling

A Conversation on racial profiling is a powerful way to get your community thinking about types of law enforcement abuse and strategizing ways to work together with other affected communities in your area to fight for local, state, and national solutions to stop all forms of racial profiling. If you have questions, contact Sian at sofaolain@rightsworkinggroup.org. Check out our toolkit and resources to host a Conversation today!

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.
