Thank you to everyone who joined our January 30, a nationwide day of no school, no work and no shopping. The people of the Twin Cities have shown the way for the whole country – to stop ICE’s reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN.
Let us keep a sustained movement for justice and peace! The entire country is shocked and outraged at the brutal killings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal agents. While Trump and other right wing politicians are slandering them as “terrorists”, the video evidence makes it clear beyond all doubt: they were gunned down in broad daylight simply for exercising their First Amendment right to protest mass deportation. Every day, ICE, Border Patrol and other enforcers of Trump’s racist agenda are going into our communities to kidnap our neighbors and sow fear. It is time for us to all stand up together in a nationwide shutdown/strike and say enough is enough!
Sign our pledge and find more actions to take NOW!
We, the undersigned, joined the January 30th nationwide shutdown and pledge to join all future collective shutdowns in response to the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE. We will not go to work, school, or buy anything. The demands for the shutdown are:Â
- No more funding for ICE.Â
- Justice for all people murdered and detained by ICE.Â
- ICE out of everywhere.Â
- Stop ICE terror.Â
We will continue to take collective shutdown actions until these demands are met.Â
