Several bookstores in the Valley are taking part in the ICE Out initiative this Friday. Some stores will close for the day, while others will remain open to offer customers opportunities to write postcards to elected officials or contribute proceeds from book sales to related causes.
The event aims to raise awareness and support for immigrant rights through community engagement and fundraising efforts.
Why this matters
The participation of local bookstores highlights the role of small businesses in social activism. By either closing or facilitating advocacy activities, these stores are helping to amplify voices on immigration issues and encourage civic involvement.
