"I've seen a lot in my life, but to be degraded...not just stripped of  
my clothes, being stripped of my dignity, was what I had a problem  
with."
Kurdish American Karwan Abdul Kader was detained and questioned by  
local law enforcement for no reason other than driving around in the  
wrong neighborhood. Watch stories like his in a powerful new  
documentary Face The Truth: Racial Profiling Across America by  
Breakthrough's Restore Fairness campaign and the Rights Working Group,  
showing the devastating impact of racial profiling on communities  
across our country.


The documentary accompanies a new report by the Rights Working Group  
released along with 275 local and national partners on the one year  
anniversary of the Face the Truth campaign to end racial profiling.  
Both the video and report urge Congress to pass the End Racial  
Profiling Act (ERPA), highlighted in a Congressional briefing on  
Thursday, September 30th in Washington D.C. attended by advocates,  
police chiefs and community organizers.

Together, we can stop the erosion of our fundamental human rights.  
Urge Congress to pass the End Racial Profiling Act.

TAKE ACTION NOW.

Thank you,
The Breakthrough Team
