Immigrant march, boycott planned in Danbury, Connecticut

“Immigrants plan to march through downtown Danbury streets on April 30 and boycott businesses and schools the next day.

The two days of local activism coincide with a national effort in which immigrants from California to New York plan to take to the streets to highlight immigrant contributions to communities, the economy and culture.

On May 1, a Monday, “the kids don’t go to school. They don’t buy anything, and they don’t go to work,” said Maria-Cinta Lowe, executive director of the Hispanic Center of Greater Danbury. “I don’t know if everyone will participate. For survival, some people must work to eat.”"
