Activists in disagreement with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement are calling for a National Shutdown Day on Friday, Jan. 30 and requesting Americans skip school, work and avoid shopping.

A handful of Florida organizations, businesses and schools, including a group at University of Florida and Gainesville businesses, have registered online that they plan to participate. In addition to Jan. 30, it’s being requested that people attend protests Jan. 31.

Gainesville businesses Humble Wood Fire, The Lynx Bookstore, Serpentine Plants + Provisions, and Afternoon Restaurant and Boca Fiesta announced they would be participating.

All of this is in response to the fatal shooting in Minnesota of Alex Pretti, a U.S. citizen and registered nurse who treated veterans. Pretti was shot and killed by a Border Patrol agent after confronting immigration authorities on Jan. 24.
