We all know that in Texas and across the country, immigration is a very sensitive topic to many people.

You’ve probably heard or seen videos on the internet of the mass deportation efforts that are underway not only in the Lone Star State but all over the country. 

There are many Latinos wanting to stand up against the deportations that are taking place, and the newest effort includes boycotting major companies in the United States.  

The Freeze Latino Movement is Starting the Boycotts 

The group around the boycotts is called the Freeze Latino Movement.

When you visit their website, it states facts such as Latinos make up 20% of the U.S. population and that while the freeze is currently on for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, the group is suggesting that Latinos quit spending money at specific locations.  

Encouraging Spending in Other Places 

Instead of spending money with the big companies that have scaled back their diversity, equity, and inclusion. The group is suggesting that people support Latino American, Black American and Allied American Businesses. 

The group is also asking followers to tag @latinofreeze on Instagram and use the hashtags #LatinoFreezeMovement and #LatinoFreeze. 

The group also encourages spending at swap meets, farmer’s markets, secondhand stores or other trading or barter opportunities.  

They encourage not spending on sports or entertainment unless those teams and players support their movement.
