The Hispanic/Latino Coalition of Louisville is a broad-based group of public and private organizations and individuals who embrace the contributions and respond to the concerns of our growing Hispanic/Latino population. It is an important part of our mission to collectively express concern when the human rights of our Hispanic/Latino population are being threatened.

Our group stands solidly behind our “People Not Profiles” Campaign because it points out the positive attributes we, who have walked in the shoes of immigrants, have to offer our beloved community. Just as we have overcome adversity to be able to be on an equal basis with the many citizens of the U.S. we, as longstanding fellow citizens of the Americas, are calling out to our neighbors to show compassion and treat all of us as fairly and equally as we would treat our neighbors in North America.

The unjust Arizona law, SB1070, is set to go into effect on Thursday, July 29, 2010, and consequently has caused us to unite in a solidarity movement on behalf of people facing anti-immigrant attacks in Arizona. We have organized ourselves through our “People Not Profiles” Campaign in order to build a community here in Kentucky that says NO to Arizona’s
unconstitutional law  and “NO to Hate” directed at ANYONE.
