Salma and Don Francisco Honored the May 1Huelga

10:54 H | Topics: Activism - Celebrities - Immigration

09.hayek.jpg You didn't see them marching on Monday, the day of the national boycott, but immigrant celebs like Salma Hayek and Sabado Gigante's Don Franciso were with the over a million protesters clamoring for human rights, at least in spirit. Salma honored the boycott in her own way by not leaving her Hollywood home and changing her plans. Salma said:

I was supposed to fly to Guatemala but since my airline was American, I re-scheduled my trip for tomorrow.
Don Francisco, whose Univision network showed regulary scheduled novelas and talk shows on the day of the boycott said:
The economy would tremble without the working force of 20 million people who are only asking for their rights to be respected and the services they all deserve, just like any other honest citizen in the rest of the world.
