“We want to make sure that we as Latinos realize how important it is to fight for our rights,” said Mike Moreno, Moreno’s Liquors owner. “My family did not immigrate to this city, did not immigrate to the U.S. to see things like this today.”
Businesses along 26th Street were encouraged to put up signs, educating people about their rights and urging them to unite in times of uncertainty.
