I went to a local Latino restaurant yesterday to get some takeout and saw a bunch of handwritten signs saying they were going to be closed on Monday to support the community.

The waitress said there was a movement to skip work and not spend money this Monday Feb 3 to protest the attacks on Latinos. I hadnā€™t heard of that and didnā€™t find much mention online. I think itā€™s the idea by some random person in DC? I found the image above on facebook or somewhere equally horrible. Anyway Iā€™m just posting bc this is the only protest Iā€™ve seen in my area, the Democrats have been completely silent so all thatā€™s left is some rando on the other side of the country.

    but that many days off would be risky for the working immigrants. One day can be afforded much more easily. More needs strike pay. Also, give more notice. This is in less than 12 hours
