LATIN BUSINESS ASSOCIATION JOINS ARIZONA BOYCOTT IN SUPPORT OF
THE REPEAL OF ANTI-IMMIGRATION LAW SB1070
April 29, 2010 - LOS ANGELES, CA – The Latin Business
Association (LBA) today announced it supports the repeal of
Arizona’s anti-immigration law, SB 1070, which will lead to racial
profiling discrimination by state police forces.
“The Latin Business Association board and members are deeply
disappointed by the misguided efforts of Arizona policy makers to
regulate immigration through the draconian legislation SB1070. As
business owners, we join the efforts of like-minded organizations to
boycott Arizona products and services until a repeal of SB1070 has
been implemented. The Latin Business Association invites other
Latino business organizations to join us in boycotting Arizona to
restore a just and dignified approach to U.S. immigration policy.”
- Ruben Guerra, Chairman of the Latin Business Association

The LBA is one of the country’s most active Latino business
organizations on the basis of its membership and overall outreach to
Latino business owners. The Latin Business Association was
established in 1976 as a private non-profit organization to foster
growth and draw awareness to Latino enterprise, as well as provide
advocacy and business education to its membership and the community
at large. |
