Activists across the U.S. are calling for a one-day “National Shutdown” on Friday, Jan. 30, urging people to stop working, attending school, and spending money to protest Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
According to the website, nationalshutdown.org, the protest is meant to put pressure on federal agents following the deadly shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota.
The Trump Administration has maintained that federal agents were acting in self-defense in each of the shootings.
Walkouts, events, vigils, and protests are set to take place in all 50 states on Friday, including Washington.
KIRO 7 News has found a series of businesses in Washington that say they’ll be participating, either by shutting down themselves or raising money for Minneapolis restaurants that were closed. Below is a running list.
Bellingham
Aslan Brewing is asking customers to round up their tab for the weekend to donate to the Washington Immigrant Solidarity Network. Proceeds from draft pints and six-packs to-go of Monarch IPA will also be donated.

Brandywine Kitchen will remain open but will be donating 100% of profits for the day to the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project.

Port Orchard
Damn Fine Pizza Co. will be open, but issued a statement that says in part, “We fully support everyone who is able to protest, strike, walk out, shut down and refuse to participate in systems that cause real harm. That work matters. We also know a lot of people don’t have the option to step away without risking their job, their housing, or their safety and that doesn’t make their anger or their values any less real.” You can read the full statement here.
