Businesses across Napa and Sonoma counties plan to close or participate in a nationwide protest on Friday, January 30, as part of a movement calling for people to abstain from work, school, and shopping to demand changes in U.S. immigration enforcement policy. The 'National Shutdown' movement is urging lawmakers to vote against funding for ICE and to call for broader changes in immigration enforcement.
Why it matters
The shutdown is a response to recent high-profile incidents involving federal immigration agents, including the shooting deaths of U.S. citizens by ICE officers. The protest aims to pressure lawmakers to reform immigration enforcement practices and defund ICE.
The details
Local businesses, including La Cheve Bakery, Di Rosa Center for Contemporary Art, The River Club Napa, Napa Bookmine, Winecoyeah, Spinning Threads Vintage and Records, and Castañedas Market, are participating in the shutdown by closing, donating proceeds, or organizing fundraisers. Students at two Rohnert Park high schools also plan to walk out in solidarity.
- The nationwide protest is scheduled for Friday, January 30, 2026.
