Immigration activists in Los Angeles are calling for a repeat of 2006’s marches and boycotts, where over one million people took to the streets in cities across the US to raise awareness of immigration rights for illegal immigrants.
The 2006 marches were in protest of tough federal legislation that would further criminalize illegal immigrants and fortify the U.S.-Mexico border.
2007’s boycott is being planned for May 01 (07), and is being organized by the March 25 Coalition, a group consisting of immigrant rights organizations and rally planners.
