Freeze the NIH? Freeze Diversity, Equity and Inclusion? Freeze immigration in the United States?

Did you know that the Latino GDP in the United States is the fifth largest in the world? 3.7 trillion dollars. Latinos also make up 20% of the U.S. population.

Latinos and Latinas stop spending money. Hold the line. We can all collectively make a big impact by simply holding and not spending our money.

Starting NOW until they show us they care about our minority and immigrant populations of the United States.

ACTION ITEMS:

  • Latino Freeze
    • HOLD and SAVE your spending money.
    • Shop only for essentials (i.e. food) and be thoughtful/selective where you buy.
    • Continue to work and seek services (i.e. medical care)
    • No big purchases, cancel subscriptions.
      • Avoid making major purchases.
      • No taxes on your savings.
    • Support Latino American, Black American and Allied American Businesses that are supportive to this movement.
    • Support Local Supportive American Businesses to this movement (who value DEI and immigrants).
  • Make sure you pay for:
    • Your rent, mortgage/bills, responsibilities, healthcare, taxes, etc.
    • Healthy food
  • Spread the word in person and on ALL social media platforms!
  • Make a video on all social media platforms in English and Spanish, tag @latinofreeze on Instagram, and use the hashtags: #LatinoFreezeMovement #LatinoFreeze

In general, consider shopping at local stores, swap meets, farmer market’s, secondhand stores, trading, etc. Consider not spending on sports and entertainment (unless they are supportive of this movement).
