San Francisco Bay Area Businesses Closing 1/30 For The National General Strike: Oakland & Beyond, National Day of Action; Economic Blackout January 30, Protests
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.
I am aware of the sacrifice made when choosing to close and also the pressure to follow others. I thought about this carefully before I started to put this together as many businesses participated last strike, or do some amazing things without much press coverage.

Thank you! I will update once the info is publicized but will keep this comment here in the meantime!
