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.

    Agreed, tho thatā€™s the least of the problems; the event is not very well advertised and poorly planned in general. But itā€™s SOMETHING. The Democrats are doing nothing so far. Indivisible is just suggesting we contact Senators. The Transgender Unity Coalition had some rallies last week, I could have driven a couple hours to one, but I didnā€™t see it in time: https://transunitycoalition.org/
