My shop is closed today, February 16th, in solidarity with
#ADayWithoutImmigrants demonstrations/boycotts/protests.
I am not an immigrant. My family is not made up of recent immigrants to the United States.
Therefore, I do not have to live in fear that the rash decisions of the president will drastically alter the lives of me or my immediate family.
I do not have to experience hate speech, hate crimes, or ignorance from those further emboldened by the recent change in US leadership.
I do not have to fear for my life or the lives of my family should we be deported.
I support the bravery of those taking a stand and have closed my shop in solidarity with immigrants in my life, community, & country.
Check out news coverage of #adaywithoutimmigrants online. I also encourage you to listen to a recent This American Life episode that speaks to the #MuslimBan, immigration, & vetting. This episode touched me and I strongly recommend it.
My shop will be back up tomorrow & I'm looking forward to posting a massive weekend post on Saturday!
Style Sessions & Goal Digger purchases will also be available again tomorrow. Stop back then!
