No work, no shopping, no dining out. Hundreds of businesses across #Minnesota are expected to close and many people are vowing to pause everyday activities on Friday as part of a #GeneralStrike against the #Trump administration’s #immigration crackdown.

As tensions mount and a sense of fear of detention by immigration agents permeates the state, vendors, #LaborUnions and residents are set to participate in an economic blackout and gather at prayers and #protests on what organizers called a “Day of Truth and Freedom.”
