A group of student activists plan to protest outside a local restaurant Thursday to draw attention to the treatment of tomato pickers, then march on the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department to denounce recent federal immigration enforcement actions in the county.
Two- to three-dozen members of the UC Riverside chapter of MEChA plan to gather around 5 p.m. outside a Burger King at 2167 University Ave., where they will call for a boycott of the restaurant chain and Chipotle Mexican Grill over the wages paid to tomato pickers, said UCR MEChA spokesman Omar Aguiar.”*
