After splintering over a year ago, two Los Angeles immigrant coalitions joined forces Tuesday while calling for a Sept. 12 consumer boycott in favor of immigration reform.
The groups said they united after the Aug. 19 arrest and deportation of Elvira Arellano, who lived in a Chicago church for a year to avoid deportation.
Reeeeeetch!!! "Brave Woman!" That's funny. Shrewd, calculating, cold-as-ice woman is more like it. Read the previous post about this bitch to see what these people really stand for.
"The only time people in our community are not asked for (immigration-related) identification is when they spend money," said Angelica Salas, executive director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles. "It's time for America to realize their buying power and contribution to this country."
Different from the May 1 boycotts, which called on workers and students to stay home, this boycott only calls on immigrants and supporters not to spend money.
I'll remind you again as the date comes closer, but, let it be proclaimed....
Buy Everything Day!
