“We are calling for this #strike because we believe what we have been doing in Minnesota should go national,” said Kidus Yeshidagna, president of the Ethiopian Students Union at the University of #Minnesota & one of the students organizing the strike.
“We need more people & lawmakers across the country to wake up.”

Yeshidagna is part of a coalition of student groups that organized the #Minnesota shutdown last Friday, in which thousands of people flooded the streets in sub-zero temperatures & hundreds of businesses shut their doors to demand #justice for #ReneeGood, who was shot by an #ICE agent while trying to protect a neighbor. Last weekend, agents killed #AlexPretti, another resident who was observing agents’ activities.
