Jesselyn McCurdy, legislative counsel for our Washington Legislative Office, on racial profiling:
By allowing racial and religious bias to decide who is detained by law enforcement, we betray that fundamental promise of equal protection under the law.
You can help end racial profiling by telling your Congresspersons to co-sponsor Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) and Representative John Conyers' (D-MI) End Racial Profiling Act of 2007 (ERPA), which is expected to be introduced next week on June 21.
