I know, typically this blog is me complaining about dietary stuff but I wanted to help my friends and our Minnesota neighbors out who will be involved in a strike as ICE and the federal government has invaded their cities and homes after this latest court ruling that allows ICE access into their homes.
I’m putting together an online list for the shops that will be closed tomorrow. A lot of these places are small businesses that have already been negatively impacted by ICE, and the invasion of their state. If you can join Minnesota in their national strike tomorrow.
If you’re local to Minnesota, there will be a rally and a march for the event. “A Day of Truth and Freedom” will culminate in a 2 p.m. rally and march through downtown Minneapolis. The rally will start at 2 p.m. at The Commons, 425 Portland Ave. S., organizers say.
If you are not a local, we can still support Minnesota in these difficult times. Alt National Park Service created a list of business closures, and I am including their online businesses in the links.
I’m also attaching at the very bottom of all of this a copy/paste for emailing or a phone script for calling local businesses about giving them donations:
