“Momentum for the May 1st Boycott is building and while we don’t necessarily agree with some aspects of the boycott, in particular the call for students to skip school and for additional protesting, which we see as counter productive in light of the recent success of the protest marches two weeks ago. We support the idea and effort to speak out and have a say on the immigration issue.

There are many ways to have our voices heard. A boycott and staying away from work can be an effective, symbolic, way of interjecting the migrant workers voice as well as all immigrant voices into the debate.

We support the effort and intent of those who support and plan on participating with this boycott and work stoppage, but we do so with words of caution.”
