"San Franciscans will descend upon Dolores Park on Friday afternoon to join the "ICE Out" walkouts and protest taking place in dozens of cities across the country today. Organizers are hoping to replicate the success of a "general strike" that took place on Jan. 23 in Minneapolis, when hundreds of businesses shut down and thousands of people filled the streets to lambast Immigration and Customs Enforcement."
"The group 50501 showed marches planned coast to coast, and students at the University of Minnesota have called for academic walkouts. In San Francisco, at least 70 businesses said they would close, and the Dolores Park protest was set to kick off at 1 p.m. A few hours beforehand, the only sign of the impending protest was three stickers plastered on top of street placards near the park that replaced the road name and read "ABOLISH ICE.""
San Franciscans will gather at Dolores Park Friday at 1 p.m. to participate in a nationwide "ICE Out" walkout and protest. Organizers aim to replicate a Jan. 23 general strike in Minneapolis when hundreds of businesses shut and thousands protested Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The group 50501 listed marches coast to coast and University of Minnesota students called for academic walkouts. At least 70 San Francisco businesses said they would close for the action. Stickers reading "ABOLISH ICE" appeared on street placards near Dolores Park. The Day of Action responds to protests after Renee Good and Alex Pretti, both U.S. citizens, were killed by ICE.
