'We are All Elvira and Saulito Coalition' forms and Calls for Consumer Boycott

We are All Elvira and Saulito Coalition has been formed in Los Angeles and the group is calling for a September 12th consumer boycott in favor of immigration reform.

The new organization is the result of a merger between two Los Angeles-based groups: the March 25 Coalition, organizers of the May 1 boycotts the past two years; and the We Are America Coalition, which focuses on citizenship, lobbying and voter registration drives.

The groups united after the Aug. 19 arrest and deportation of Elvira Arellano.
