Having spoken out in defense of immigrants that have been called "illegal", we here at Recycled Minds find this project by the Applied Research Center to be especially important. Their campaign, "Drop the I-Word", calls on the media, the public and public figures to stop using the term "illegal". The campaign explains the racist connotations of the word, and the negative effects of using such language - something that our world and communities can do without.
Check out the video, and join the campaign:
It is amazing how many people think that this is ok.
