In the wake of recent events, a call to action has been made by a labor-community coalition in response to the ICE murder of Renee Good and an assault on the state by federal immigration forces. The coalition is urging residents to take a stand and refuse to work, shop or attend school on January 23. This bold move is a powerful statement against the injustices and violence inflicted upon our community by ICE and the federal government.

The murder of Renee Good, a beloved member of our community, has left us all shocked and heartbroken. She was a hardworking and dedicated member of our society, yet she fell victim to a senseless act of violence at the hands of ICE. This tragic incident has sparked outrage and fear among many members of our community, especially those who are undocumented or have loved ones who are undocumented.

In addition to the murder of Renee Good, we have also witnessed an aggressive and unwarranted assault by federal immigration forces on our state. Families have been torn apart, individuals have been detained and deported without due process, and our community has been living in a constant state of fear and uncertainty. This cannot be tolerated any longer.

That is why the labor-community coalition has called for a day of action on January 23. We are asking all residents to stand in solidarity and refuse to work, shop or attend school on this day. This is not a call for violence or destruction, but rather a peaceful and powerful demonstration of our collective strength and unity.

By refusing to work, shop or attend school, we are sending a strong message to ICE and the federal government that we will not stand idly by while our community is under attack. We will not allow them to continue their reign of terror and injustice. We will not be complicit in their actions.

This day of action is not just for the undocumented members of our community, but for all of us. We must come together and stand up for what is right, for what is just. We must show our government that we will not be silenced, and that we demand change.

This is a call to action for all residents, regardless of race, nationality or immigration status. We must stand united and show our strength in numbers. We must show that we will not be divided by their hateful rhetoric and policies.

But this is not just a one-day event. It is a call for ongoing resistance and activism. We must continue to fight for justice and equality for all members of our community. We must hold our government accountable for their actions and demand that they put an end to these senseless and inhumane practices.

On January 23, let us come together and make our voices heard. Let us show our community and the world that we will not back down in the face of adversity. Let us stand in solidarity with Renee Good and all the victims of ICE’s violence. Let us show that we are a united force, and that we will not stop until justice is served.

We urge all residents to join us on January 23 in this peaceful and powerful demonstration. Together, we can make a difference and bring about real change for our community. Let us not forget the words of Martin Luther King Jr., “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Let us stand up for justice and make our voices heard.
