Many Twin Cities businesses closing Thursday for ‘Day Without Immigrants’ protest
A national protest is spurring immigrants to make their voices heard by walking off their jobs.
The one-day boycott, organized through social media, urges immigrants — whether citizens or not — to not go to work, open their businesses, spend money or send their children to school in reaction to President Donald Trump’s views and actions on immigration. The idea is to send a message that the “country is paralyzed” without immigrants, who do everything from run corporate boardrooms to clean them.
