The U.S. immigration debate has given way to the biggest explosion of anti-Latino sentiment in recent memory. Using the pretense of fighting "illegal" immigration, racists across America are using the media and political offices to foment anti-Latino hostilities. While it's an honored American tradition for decent people to stand up to the bully racists, anti-Latinos have thus far gone unchallenged. If you believe that it's time to hold the anti-Latino bigots--and the institutions that support them--to account, please say so by signing the Ya Basta! Campaign petition. America will be better for it.

The emails I receive from those targeted by this hostility show how much damage these words are doing. It is exhausting to face this vitriol day after day but I am continuing to push forward because silence is exactly what they want.

The momentum behind this effort is growing and it finally feels like people are waking up to the reality of what we face. It has been an exhausting road to get here but seeing this level of backing proves that we are not alone in this fight.

Enough is enough. My family has been here for generations and we are sick of being treated like second class citizens in our own neighborhoods.
