A coalition of immigrants’ rights activists, church leaders and community leaders announced plans today for a statewide boycott March 21-April 1 to bring attention to the economic contributions of illegal immigrants.
The boycott of all businesses is part of a campaign to drum up support for pending immigration reform legislation in the U.S. Senate.

"The economic gears of (the United States) depend on the contributions of 12 million undocumented immigrants," said Ignacio Ramirez, member of Immigrant Families of Southwest Denver. "Those gears cannot work without us."

Next week, a 10-member statewide delegation of reform proponents will leave for Washington, D.C. to urge elected representatives to support the proposed bill
