NATIONAL SHUTDOWN
NATIONAL SHUTDOWN
JANUARY 30TH
In response to recent U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity, as well as the deaths of four people shot by federal agents, activists are encouraging a “shutdown” on Friday.
The “National Shutdown” calls for supporters to stay home from work and school, and not to go shopping in an effort to “stop funding ICE.”
The national strike is being organized by National Shutdown, a decentralized grassroots movement, and has been endorsed by numerous advocacy groups including CodePink, Defend Immigrant Families Campaign, CAIR, the North Carolina Poor People's Campaign, the LA Tenants Union, and several student organizations at the University of Minnesota.
Strike organizers have asked citizens to withhold labor and spending, effectively creating a nationwide economic blackout.
Advocates say widespread participation could pressure the federal government to reconsider its approach to immigration enforcement.
The strike is intended to achieve several outcomes, including withdrawal of federal agents from local operations, especially in Minnesota, end to deaths and violence associated with ICE and DHS enforcement, and public accountability for federal policies affecting immigrants and communities.
It also aims at raising awareness nationwide about civil liberties and First Amendment rights
This strike is a non-violent action and is part of a broader movement to hold the federal government accountable.
