On Friday January 30, 2025 many are asking that we all skip school, work, and doing any nonessential shopping for a total nationwide shutdown across the United States. The call for the shutdown comes after growing unrest around the country. According to Nationalshutdown.org, this nationwide shutdown that was triggered by the people of Minnesota's reaction to ICE activities has shown the American people the way to get the program defunded. Of course, this is all being met with pushback from voices on the other side who feel that a shutdown wouldn't accomplish anything. One thing is certain, there is a lot of unrest in the country right now.
