US National shutdown: Why activists are calling for ‘no school, no work and no shopping’
Activists across the US are staging a national shutdown, urging people to skip work, school, and shopping to protest President Trump's immigration policies and recent ICE-involved shootings. The protests were sparked by the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, with activists demanding the removal of ICE and CBP from US cities. Celebrities like Pedro Pascal, Ariana Grande, and Macklemore have voiced support for the strike, amplifying calls for action on social media.
