What's Happening?
A vintage clothing store in Denver's Highlands Neighborhood participated in the national ICE-Out strike by closing its doors on Friday. The store, known for carrying items with political and social messages, joined the protest to support the immigrant
community. The strike was part of a broader movement against immigration enforcement actions by ICE, with businesses and individuals across the country participating in various forms of protest.
Why It's Important?
The participation of local businesses in the ICE-Out strike highlights the growing solidarity with immigrant communities facing enforcement actions. By closing their doors, these businesses are making a statement against policies perceived as harmful to immigrants. This movement reflects broader societal debates about immigration policy and enforcement in the U.S., and the role of local communities in advocating for change. The strike also underscores the economic impact of such protests, as businesses forgo income to support social causes.
