Boycotts Against Arizona: An Effective Strategy for Social Change? Rose Aguilar - Your Call go to original May 01, 2010 On Your Call, we'll talk about the history and present use of boycotts as protest.
Press play to listen to "Your Call" with Rose Aguilar
Just last week, Arizona passed a set of new immigration laws that many argue erode the civil rights of immigrants and latinos. Some of those who are outraged by the legislation are calling for protest in the form of a boycott of Arizona. But how effective could that be? Would it help or hurt the people, including immigrants, of Arizona? How have boycotts succeeded in the past? Would an Arizona boycott work? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you. Guests: • Lawrence Glickman - Associate professor of history at the University of South Carolina; Author of Buying Power: A History of Consumer Activism in America and A Living Wage: American Workers and the Making of Consumer Society • Linda Herrera - co-founder of Unidos Arizona; grassroots organizer for boycott of Arizona Diamondbacks • Alfredo Gutierrez - former Arizona state senate majority leader; head of Arizona Boycott Committee Jonathan Day - owner of Jonathan Day's Indian Arts in Flagstaff; creator of "Don't Boycott AZ" Facebook page • Valeria Fernandez - reporter for New America Media based in Phoenix
