(KSL News) -- Dozens of Latinos in Utah have come up with another way to support immigration reform besides a national work strike planned for May 1st.

A group got together this afternoon to create thousands of blue ribbons people can wear that day.

Leaders say after the big rally April 9th they came up with the Blue Ribbon Campaign because people kept asking them what they could do. They hope the ribbons generate discussion.

Tony Yapias, Community Activist: "The ribbon symbolizes that we want dignity and justice for the immigrant community."

Instead of skipping work or school May 1st, Latino leaders are encouraging people to participate in a Walk for Liberty at Liberty Park.
