Activist groups declare 'Latino Freeze' boycott against companies that dropped DEl programs Blaze News <




Some activist groups are organizing a boycott of companies that dropped their diversity, eq-uity, and inclusion programs, and they're calling the effort the "Latino Freeze."<



Many companies implemented the DEl policies in response to the rioting after the death of George Floyd in police custody, but a backlash in conservative media has made many rethink the decision. The election of President Donald Trump further persuaded companies to drop the programs.<



'The least we can do is send a message to Donald Trump backers!' Now the backlash against the backlash is being organized by Dolores Huerta, the famed labor leader and feminist activist. "If you don't respect our community, then you shouldn't have our dollars," Huerta said about the boycott. Actor John Leguizamo, best known for his role in "The Pest," has also joined the fight to keep DEl. On social media he reposted a call from a Tennessee state senator to boycott anti-DEl
