On Friday, January 30, communities across the United States are mobilizing for a powerful National Shutdown — a coordinated day of resistance demanding justice, dignity, and the abolition of ICE. This call to action invites everyone to stand together in solidarity and refuse participation in business as usual: no work, no school, no shopping.

Across towns and campuses from coast to coast, organizers and everyday people are answering this call to say ENOUGH — no more state violence, no more deportations, no more terror inflicted by federal immigration enforcement.

We honor the memory of Renée Good, Alex Pretti, Silverio Villegas González, Keith Porter Jr., and all victims of ICE violence and demand accountability and justice now. This isn’t just a protest — it’s a people’s shutdown to show the world that our communities care more about human life than profits or politics.

Whether you’re walking out of class, taking a sick day from work, closing your business, or hosting a vigil or local rally, your participation matters. Together we disrupt the system that profits from fear.

What to Do:

  • Walk out of school or work on January 30

  • Don’t shop — keep your dollars in your community

  • Join a local action or vigil

  • Share your commitment + photos on social media with #NationalShutdown and #GeneralStrike

📣 We stand with immigrant families. We stand with our neighbors. We stand for justice.
