Dear Friends

YES WE MADE IT!!! Anti immigrant CNN host is finally gone due to our immense pressure and very coordinated campaign, but there are still many more radical and conservatives in the media and politics at this very diverse nation. No doubt, we have moved just one step ahead for real change. We have shown the strength and power how we can wine the battle staying very unified at our issues and agendas. We have long way to go to fulfill our dream of prosperous, liberal and progressive America, that would be the true transformation of this very right conservation nation, where we may entertain as a civilian with full of dignity and respect without any racial division and unseen segregation.

Yes he is gone, anti immigrant host Lou Dobbs.

YES WE DID!!!

Subject: Dobbs is Gone – You Made it Happen

Lou Dobbs has resigned from CNN -- You and more than 100,000 others made it happen.

Let's turn this moment into a movement! Please share the news with your friends and family.

Dear Shailesh —

Thanks to you, Lou Dobbs has hosted his last show on CNN.

Last night, Dobbs announced his resignation, effective immediately.¹ This historic victory comes after you and more than 100,000 others stood up online and in communities across the country to say ¡Basta! to Dobbs’ anti-Latino and anti-immigrant rhetoric. You spoke out, CNN listened, and now Dobbs is gone.

This victory belongs to you, and we encourage you to share it. Dobbs’ departure shows what can happen when Latinos and our allies stand up against harmful myths and negative stereotypes. And we have only just begun. Please tell your family and friends the good news, and encourage them to join the Presente.org community as we prepare for the battles ahead:

Lou Dobbs’ resignation is an important milestone in the fight against bigotry and prejudice. As Dobbs himself said in his on-air announcement, there are “winds of change buffeting our country.” What he neglected to add is that those winds are being generated by thousands of people who can envision a better future, and are willing to work together to achieve it. That is what Presente.org is all about.

This victory signals the end of our BastaDobbs campaign, but it also marks a beginning. Just as we have spoken out against anti-Latino stereotypes on television, we will say no to policies that divide our families, and demand an end to discrimination against our communities. Together, we can help the United States reach its highest ideals. In the words of the great César Chávez:

Once social change begins it cannot be reversed...You cannot uneducate the person who has learned to read. You cannot humiliate the person who feels pride. You cannot oppress the people that are not afraid anymore.

Thank you again for being a part of our efforts. And please share this news with your family and friends and urge them to join our growing community — the larger we grow, the more powerful we become:
