'Time for Us to All Stand Up Together'
"At least 8 people have died at the hands of ICE just this month, including Alex Pretti and Renee Good who were brutally killed in Minneapolis. The people of DC know what it is like to have armed goons roaming the streets accosting and even abducting our friends and neighbors. We have been living under federal occupation for the last six months, and there is no end in sight. Across the country, 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 and say enough is enough!
"The people and small businesses of Minnesota have shown the way for the whole country--to stop ICE's reign of terror, we need to SHUT IT DOWN.
"So, on Friday, January 30, join in a nationwide day of no school, no work and no shopping.
"Solid State Books will be closed tomorrow in support of this national shutdown.
"As much as we hate closing our doors, we believe in standing up for what is right and supporting the rights and safety of our neighbors. So please join us in this nationwide strike if you can, but, above all, deprive the big corporations of their commerce for the day. This Friday, do not shop on Amazon, at big box stores, or buy from the tech companies that sell us out."
