On Monday, 'A Day Without Immigrants' prompted numerous businesses, schools, and families across Southern California and the U.S. to close or reduce attendance. The movement, organized through social media, encouraged immigrants to abstain from work and shopping. Notable closures included various businesses and schools experiencing higher-than-usual absenteeism. Activist Wendy Guardado noted nearly 250 businesses closed in support of the action and hinted at ongoing efforts amidst the political climate under the Trump administration, signaling a broader commitment to advocate for immigrant rights.
Wendy Guardado, a Los Angeles activist who helped organize the action, mentioned she counted nearly 250 businesses nationwide that had closed in solidarity with the movement.
Guardado stated, 'There is so much more coming, because there's four years of Trump.' This highlights the ongoing commitment and future actions of the immigrant community.
