The Kentucky Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights (KCIRR) is a loosely organized Kentucky, USA grassroots community group based in Lexington, Kentucky but with members throughout the state. ==History== KCIRR began in 2006 with wide community support, as a coalition of immigrants, activists and allies working together to organize local and statewide responses to the Sensenbrenner Bill, also known as H.R. 4437, and in support of just, humane, and comprehensive immigration reform. On April 10, 2006, KCIRR organized "10-10-10", which was a rally in support of comprehensive immigration reform. Over 10,000 supporters gathered in the Courthouse Plaza of downtown Lexington, Kentucky for the event. It was the largest rally in recent Kentucky history. On February 21, 2007, working with diverse allies, the group organized a historic first Immigrant and Refugee Rights Advocacy Day in Kentucky. With over eighty people in attendance, the day was historic as the first event singularly in support of immigrant and refugee rights at the Kentucky State Capitol. By Fall 2008 the organization experienced massive turnover of staff and board members as burnout and personal issues took their toll. The organization continues today in a more limited form, but is in the process of reorganizing and re-energizing with assistance from young immigrants known as DREAMers. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kentucky Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
