Shout out to my people who need the money and/or risk getting fired and can't skip work for the Day Without Immigrants protest. It's perfectly understandable if you put your financial and social safety first, your intentions are valid ✊🏽❤️

#Daywithoutimmigrants

I’ve recieved a couple of anons asking me why I "made up a random protest" but just to be clear:

I didn’t make it up; it’s been a thing and I’m just trying to use my voice to spread the word. Look up #daywithoutimmigrants or #daywithoutlatinos and spread the word too ✊🏼

I stole this from @lizoni ’s instagram but wanted to try to spread the word even though it’s late.

“Day without Immigrants” 

Across the U.S., immigrants were encouraged to stay home from work and school and not patron any businesses as well. Dallas, Texas is one of the cities that vowed to participate in this protest. Businesses closed in solidarity today including Cesar’s Tacos and Supermercado El Rancho (pictured above) to show the impact immigrants have on society and the economy. Many hispanic driven businesses in the Oak Cliff area closed including dress shops, fruterias, and restaurants. However, in an odd turn, well known Bishop Arts area businesses seem to be thriving even though they are located in a mostly hispanic populated area and are understaffed.
