It worked.
The BastaDobbs.com campaign mobilized more than 40 Latino groups and more than 100,000 individuals to speak out against Dobb’s hate speech about immigrants and Latinos. Here’s the powerful video the campaign used to expose his lies and put pressure on CNN to fire him:
Dobbs’ leaving is a victory and cause for celebration to be sure. But it’s also a call for us to keep up the pressure and continue to work for media justice for everyone. Here’s how Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org, the organization that coordinated the campaign, put it:
The community is newly empowered and energized, and we are ready to fight for a respectful and civil media discourse when it comes to immigration coverage on mainstream news. This is only the beginning of a much longer-term effort.”
Stay tuned.
