Latino and Jewish Leaders Team Up for Joint Lobbying Effort in RichmondLatino and Jewish Leaders Team Up for Joint Lobbying Effort in Richmond Leaders of the Latino and Jewish community will join together in Richmond on February 1 to lobby Virginia Legislators on behalf of Immigrants Rights and Access to Education. Sponsored by VACOLAO (Virginia Coalition of Latino Organizations) and the American Jewish Committee (AJC), the initiative is part of a broader program of outreach between the two communities who have a history of joint advocacy. The two teams prepared together for the lobbying session and are scheduled to meet a number of legislators during the all-day session, the first of many programs of advocacy, training, and education planned for the coming 12 months. Explaining this initiative Andres Tobar, Chair of VACOLAO, stated, “There are a significant number of legislative bills that have been introduced in Richmond where Latino immigrants are at risk. We are very concerned by some of this legislation which we see as anti-immigrant and anti-education. Several bills have been introduced to deny immigrants admission into college and in-state tuition. These are bills which from our perspective just don’t make sense, and we will urge Virginia’s legislators to reject them. Our mission is to reach out in favor of opportunity and to oppose bills that seek to demonize immigrants. We are pleased to work closely with our friends in AJC to build bridges with the Jewish community.” AJC Board Member Andrew Mack echoed Tobar’s enthusiasm for the joint effort. “We are two communities of faith, two communities that share common values around the importance of respecting human rights and offering educational opportunity. We in the Jewish community know what it is like to be an immigrant community.” Hat tip to Brother of the Woods Posted by Svyatoslav Igorevich on Saturday, January 28, 2006 at 03:44 PM in Ethnicity and Ethnic Genetic Interests, That Question Again Comments:2

Looking at Latin America we can see just what they think about those values. What a bunch of w***ers.

I wonder why the reporter doesnt inform the reader just exactly which group the Jews and Latinos are joining together to oppose.
