LULAC Tells Goya Foods CEO: Apologize Or #GOYAGOTTAGO
=====================================================


Nation’s Oldest and Largest Latino Civil Rights Organization To Take Up Boycott
Question Saturday

Washington, DC - Domingo Garcia, National President of the League of United Latin
American Citizens (LULAC) issued the following statement Friday. This follows an
angry national reaction from Latinos over remarks made by GOYA FOODS CEO Bob
Unanue at a White House Business Roundtable hosted by President Trump.

"LULAC considers the comments by GOYA CEO and President Bob Unanue insensitive,
calloused and disrespectful to the workers and consumers who buy Goya Foods
products. His remarks are a slap in the face to the very people who have loyally
supported his company for years. Now, GOYA is turning its back on our community
to appease a President who attacks and demonizes Latinos daily. This is why I am
recommending that this matter be brought before the LULAC National Board tomorrow
where I will recommend adoption of a national boycott against GOYA Foods unless
Mr. Unanue issues a public apology and formal retraction by 5PM EST Saturday,
July 11, 2020. If not, LULAC will launch #GOYAGOTTAGO."

GOYA is the nation’s largest Hispanic-owned food company. It was started in the
1930’s by Spanish immigrants who moved to Puerto Rico, then the US.
