Midcoast businesses to join Portland in general strike Jan. 30 to protest ICE
Several Midcoast businesses are listed on a Portland website dedicated to restaurants, food markets and hospitality as participating in a general strike Jan. 30 against ICE.
Other Midcoast businesses, such as Rock City Coffee, in Rockland are simply announcing their closure on social media, saying, "We will be closed Friday, Jan. 30, in solidarity and support of our immigrant friends and neighbors."
The Norumbega Inn in Camden will also be participating with Ice Out. No breakfast, no bar bites, self check-in/out the inn said on social media.
The businesses are taking part in the National General Strike. Demonstrations are planned, including one reportedly to take place on the Village Green in Camden at 11:30 a.m.
The closed businesses and demonstrations are part of a larger network organizing as a national shutdown protest.
