Mobilization, Participation, and Solidaridad: Latino Participation in the 2006 Immigration Protest Rallies

^* To whom correspondence should be addressed. E-mail: mbarreto{at}washington.edu.

	Abstract

This article tests multiple hypotheses regarding participation in the 2006 immigration rallies in American cities. Specifically, the authors test whether the movement was widespread among Latinos or limited to Mexican immigrants, as speculated by the media, or whether group solidarity can be credited with mobilizing participation and support of Latino citizens for a largely immigrant cause. The consistent findings using both qualitative and quantitative approaches provide robust support for the conclusion that Latino support for the protests was strong across the population as a strong sense of solidarity unified the population around the immigration issue.
