Los Angeles, Alta California
May 2, 2005Dear Readership of La Voz de Aztlan:
Our news publication is supporting the noble efforts of the "STOP Anti-Mexican Hate Radio Coalition" and are asking that you do the same. Hate rhetoric against Mexican immigrants and Mexican-Americans on Los Angeles radio and especially on Disney owned KABC 790 AM has become intolerable and bordering on the criminal. The hostile social and political environment that KABC radio has helped create has already led to a series of hate crimes against Americans of Mexican descent.
The "STOP Anti-Mexican Hate Radio Coalition" is asking that you boycott the products and/or services of the advertisers on KABC hate radio. The coalition has prepared a list of most of KABC's advertisers along with their toll free telephone numbers. Please telephone the businesses to appraise them of the situation. The "STOP Anti-Mexican Hate Radio Coalition" will remove any business from the boycott list that drops KABC's hate radio programming.
Please refer to the following boycott list, talking points and two articles on the problem for background information:

Respectfully,
Ernesto Cienfuegos
Editor-in-Chief
