Economic strike in Minnesota to protest against ICE: 'No work, no school, no shopping'

A “no work, no school, no shopping” blackout day of protest was kicked off by community leaders, faith leaders and labor unions on Friday in protest against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) surge in the state.

The “Day of Truth & Freedom” protest comes in the wake of the killing of Renee Good, the unarmed woman killed by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis earlier this month.

and should exclusively target ANY business, corporation and individual; both local and national; that gave one fucking penny to ANY Retrumplican politician.

Nothing will change! The racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make racism, fascism, misogyny, hatred, and white supremacy UNPROFITABLE to the corporations, businesses and individuals that fund and enable it.
