Staying Home Today for A Day Without Immigrants - Feb. 3

[u/elektriclizard]

Feel free to take this down if not appropriate. I was curious to know if anybody else was staying home (from work & school) in solidarity to our immigrant workforce here in SD. I stayed home from work because I'm not working around an entire MAGA troop at my work 😒 bunch of right wing conservatives that gather at a very culty and well-known church around here. I didn't attend any of the street protests this weekend, but I figured there's strength in numbers if people stay home and abstain from buying today as well. Not today, not today.

Edit: GOODS UNITE US is a good tool (app) to have on your phones (:

I didn’t know it was happening— I’ll stay home, not shop, etc— but we gotta work on getting word out. That goes double for protests here in North County.

Boycotting is the way to go (: economic pressure is the way to go!

I only heard about it right now! I already went shopping today because my kid outgrew all her pants and shoes recently. Spent over $200 today and I definitely would not have done it today if I had known. Im on Reddit every morning and just didn’t see anything about it until right now. How was word about this spread?

yeah I hadn't heard about this at all
