March 25 Coalition
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The March 25 Coalition is a group of 100 political and immigrant rights organizations who called for the Great American Boycott of 2006, which was a boycott of work, school and consumer activity to demonstrate immigrants' economic power in order to protest against H.R. 4437, a legislative proposal which would make felons of illegal immigrants and impose stiffer penalties on those who employ and harbor them, and calls for new walls along 371 miles of the 2,000-mile U.S.-Mexico border.
