It is time for the United States Department of Justice to intervene and conduct an independent and comprehensive investigation of the brutal murder of Luis Ramirez in Shenandoah, Pennsylvania. The Justice Department must send a strong message that violence targeting Latinos will not be tolerated and will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

We need you, and so does Luis Ramirez’s family. Will you join us in making sure the DOJ does its job and brings justice to Shenandoah, Pennsylvania?

Sign the petition below and urge the DOJ to bring hate crime charges against his assailants today.
Every petition will be hand delivered to the DOJ by a MALDEF representative. LULAC is one of the co-sponsors of this petition drive.
