By ABIGAIL JABLONThe AstorianIn the aftermath of violent ICE interactions in Minnesota over the last few weeks, local organizers have pulled together a walkout and two protests for Friday and Saturday.
On Friday, Jan. 30, organizers are encouraging residents to leave work and school at noon in solidarity with Minnesota’s statewide walkout, which now has support nationwide.
Participants in Astoria will then gather at 17th and Marine for a protest.
Local community response actually inspired the noon protest at 17th and Marine.
It increases visibility.”Saturday’s protest, organized by the national group, 50501, is slated at 11 a.m., and will also be at 17th and Marine.
