Glenn Beck x Racial Profiling Billboard

August 12, 2010

“There is a coordinated effort to devalue everything you value. There is a coordinated effort to highjack this country.”

Beck’s attack came in response to the billboard “Have your papers ready. Racial profiling just ahead.”, which the Brave New Foundation just put up in Phoenix through Cuéntame, their Latino Facebook community, protesting the immigration law SB1070. The members of Cuéntame wanted to give voice to their concerns and we wanted to support their efforts to do so. This billboard was the brainchild of the Cuentame community who also designed the signage and raised money for its placement.

This is how Glenn Beck, the man who recently compared Obama’s America to ‘Planet of the Apes’ began his morning yesterday referring specifically to Brave New Foundation and attacking their work during his radio show. When Glenn Beck gets you in his sights, you know your progressive message is resonating. As a supporter of Brave New Foundation, we want to keep you informed of the impact of the work because, together, we are making a difference.

Beck is rallying his troops against us: “So, you’re going to have to get involved because look who paid for this billboard…Robert Greenwald… one of the things he did was he bashed the FOX News network with a movie Outfoxed.” because we are active and vocal in pointing out the mistruths of his and Fox’s propaganda. We will not be silenced by his inflammatory rants. We will continue to champion issues of social change.
