A Day Without Immigrants - Rally and CItywide Shutdown (DUFI)
Danbury’s immigrant community is essential to the city and to our entire state. When immigrants are targeted and racially profiled, the whole community is harmed. This week in Danbury, at least 65 families have been torn apart by ICE. On Monday 16 of our neighbors were abducted, on Tuesday 10 of our neighbors were abducted, on Wednesday 22 of our neighbors were abducted, and on Thursday 14 of our neighbors were abducted — while up to a dozen ICE vehicles patrolled our city each day.
Agents have beat up and tased people, broken windows, and arrested parents in front of their children. We need to make clear that WE ARE NOT OK with the authoritarian takeover of any Connecticut city. CT stands with Danbury. ICE OUT OF CT!
Danbury is a city where all of our neighbors are welcome, whose strength comes from our diversity. We’re coming together to keep Danbury a welcoming city for all!
A Day Without Immigrants - Rally and CItywide Shutdown
⏰ Wednesday Sept 2nd, 5:00 PM
📍 Danbury Public Library, 170 Main St, Danbury, CT
RSVP HERE: https://actionnetwork.org/events/day-without-an-immigrant-strike-march/?source=gmass
NO WORK • NO SCHOOL • NO SHOPPING • CLOSE ALL BUSINESSES
This daylong shutdown and the evening march are strategic, nonviolent ways to resist ICE aggression and authoritarianism in Connecticut.
Local businesses are declaring a “DAY WITHOUT AN IMMIGRANT” on Sept 2nd. They will close their doors to show the power of immigrant communities and those who support them in Connecticut.
We're asking YOU to stand in solidarity. On Sept 2nd - Don’t go to work. Don’t go to school. Don’t go shopping. Join us at 5pm for a rally. sign up here: https://actionnetwork.org/events/day-without-an-immigrant-strike-march/?source=gmass
These actions help strengthen our solidarity power because they:
Make the economic and social impact of ICE aggression highly visible by showing what a “day without immigrants” looks like.
Help protect vulnerable people from potential encounters with enforcement during a period of heightened risk.
Offer a powerful, peaceful, collective protest that clearly communicates our shared values and our refusal to be silent and accept this as “normal”.
Can't attend?
