Organizations are asking people to participate in a 24-hour boycott, to attend rallies in MacArthur Park and downtown LA and support local businesses and street vendors.

The immigration worksite raids in June and the smaller number of street-level stops in the following weeks have not brought Los Angeles to a standstill. But it is a city diminished.

Organizers of the ‘stoppage’ focused their ire on Home Depot, Target, Walmart, Stater Brothers #202 in Pasadena, McDonalds and Penske.
