Yeah, it is a treat. Just refuse to ever to call another person an "illegal". I signed on a few years back & felt great. Word up!
Drop the I-Word
The Drop the I-Word campaign to eliminate use of the word "illegal" was launched in September 2010 as anti-immigrant sentiment and hate crimes against communities of color had increased. Powered by immigrants and diverse communities across the country, Drop the I-Word has worked steadily through advocacy and coverage at Colorlines.com to present the dehumanizing and inaccurate aspects of the i-word, give space for immigrants to tell their stories, and to highlight the history behind the term "illegal" and other dehumanizing language. By Spring 2013, the Associated Press, USA Today, LA Times, San Francisco Chronicle, and many other news outlets dropped the i-word, affecting millions of readers daily nationwide. Drop the I-Word continues to advocate for change at the NY Times, Washington Post, and media outlets everywhere.
