On February 11th, hundreds of immigrant workers, parents, and youth from across the country shut down a retail store in downtown Boston to highlight the consumer power of immigrants. The demonstration consisted of a Salsa Shutdown, in which hundreds danced through the store capturing consumers’ attention. This action formally inaugurated Movimiento Cosecha’s May Day campaign, launching decentralized preparations for a one-day national “Day Without Immigrants” strike on May 1st, 2017.

As anti-Trump high-school student walkouts gain national momentum, undocumented students and allies at over 100 schools and universities demand #SanctuaryCampus for immigrants under Tump. In the largest coordinated walkout in recent history, students in red and blue states launched walkouts, sit-ins, and other actions, demanding that campuses declare sanctuary to immigrants at risk of deportation.
