Boycott planned over license bill
Protest organizers ask Latinos not to shop or work on Dec. 12
Jose Antonio Vargas, Chronicle Staff Writer Friday, December 5, 2003
...Latino immigrants -- angered by Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's repeal on Wednesday of the driver's license bill that would have given illegal immigrants the right to drive -- will participate in a planned "boycott": a one-day economic strike in which Latinos are encouraged to not go to work, school or buy anything...."This could very much shut down many businesses," said Nativo Lopez, president of the Los Angeles-based Mexican American Political Association, one of many Latino organizations across the state that called for the boycott...."We are the fulcrum, the lever, of the state's economy, and we intend to shake that fulcrum. This strike will only be the first of many in the next few months."
