As the nation teeters on the edge of moral collapse, Medium’s CEO Tony Stubblebine has made a bold move, giving his employees permission to take the day off to participate in the nationwide general strike protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
A Bold Stand Against ICE
The strike, which is calling for ‘no work, no school, and no shopping’, is a powerful response to the escalating raids in U.S. cities, which have already claimed the lives of several people, including two U.S. citizens earlier this month in Minneapolis.
Medium’s decision to support its employees’ participation in the strike sends a clear message that the company values its employees’ humanity and is willing to take a stand against injustice.
Defunding ICE: A Matter of Life and Death
ICE’s brutal tactics have left a trail of devastation in their wake, tearing families apart and leaving countless people living in fear of deportation. By defunding ICE, the strike organizers hope to bring an end to this senseless violence and restore dignity to the lives of those affected.
As the strike gains momentum, it’s clear that the stakes are higher than ever. With ICE’s actions becoming increasingly aggressive and inhumane, it’s imperative that we take a stand and demand change.
