Nationwide Shutdown, General Strike January 30, 2026
More info here: https://nationalshutdown.org/
You can support the cause by attending the protest below, supporting businesses closing down when they re-open or by not spending this day, no work, no school if you are able to. Don’t jeopardize your career, education nor livelihood/safety, there will be more opportunities, unfortunately. If you must, spend locally, spend ahead of the day, or day after.
Don’t pressure folks who don’t have the means, resources to participate this day as they may be helping in their own way, on their own time.
Update! Please Read!
A few businesses have reached out to me and asked how they can support on Friday as they are unable to close. One way to participate without closing is to donate a percentage of sales to orgs helping immigrants, keeping space open, offering pay as you will for the day & more (see examples below).
You can find some more here in this document I created.
Even just sharing the posts from businesses below as stories on Instagram is a great way to show support.
Other ways to support here in this post I found online. Also, please support our art institutions, artists, musicians, creatives, non-profits, third spaces, and the like. The community is taking a beating.
If you have other suggestions, drop me a note.
Economic Blackout Friday January 30, 2026
There are plenty of businesses that simply can’t afford to not pay their employees living check to check nor can shut down because their customers depend on them for essential needs.
Do not pressure businesses to close, they are likely doing other things to support causes you may be unaware of.
For the rest, closing on Friday, January 30, 2026, one of the busiest days of the week and one of the slowest months of the year can be risky, but here they are, doing their part.
Below are some businesses shutting down for the day. Please support them when they re-open. Buy gift cards in advance, show them love online (follow, like, comment).

This list will be updated frequently. Check back soon for updates.

I work at Dog Eared Books in the Mission District in SF and want to report that we will be donating 25% of Friday’s profits to a fund or organization working to support on the ground community defense against ICE - exact organization TBD
Really helpful having all these businesses in one list. The point about not pressuring folks who cant afford to close is crucial and often gets lost in these conversations. I've seen smaller shops get guilt tripped online for staying open even when they're barely making rent. Donating a percentage of sales is a solid compromis that more places should consider.
