Jewish group bands with Latinos against discrimination

Leaders of a national Jewish group say the hate being directed at Mexican immigrants resonates with their own experience. So they’ve taken up the cause and convened a series of meetings and workshops with immigrant and Mexican-American leaders, including some from North Texas.

Laura González, a Dallas college professor, and Jacobo Kupersztoch, a Dallas biologist, were among about three dozen Latinos from around the country who made the trek to Washington for sessions on organizing, fundraising and advocacy.

The American Jewish Committee co-sponsored the three-day workshop with Mexico’s Institute for Mexicans Abroad, which includes an advisory council established by the country’s Foreign Relations Ministry.”*
