Support for the Boycott
Each type of support, no matter how big or small, all added up into what became a major piece in the stories of Coors Beer, politics, Colorado history, and the Chicano Movement (El Movimiento). Because of the expediency of which the participants of the Chicano Movement were willing to take up another protest/boycott, the more quickly the Coors Boycott became known throughout the country. Also, the leaders who helped to engage the public, who were wither heavily effected and target by Coors Company or not, were responsible for the successes that would be made for the Coors Boycott.
At one point during the protesting and boycotting of all Coors products, several democratic politicians, including Congressmen, Senators, and Assemblymen, joined the cause and officially contributed their name into the growing list of supporters. Liberal democratic support was just the support the Coors Boycott needed. Who better to lend official support than elected officials who consequently held major positions of power in American politics? By gaining the public support of U.S. political representatives, those fighting against Coors earned more credible backing and possible cooperative allies for future stages of the boycott.
