Oregon businesses in multiple cities are closing today, Friday, January 30, as part of a nationwide anti-ICE strike calling for no work, no school, and no shopping. Supporters say the point is economic disruption, a one-day pause meant to draw attention to federal immigration enforcement practices and related protest violence that has sparked outrage nationwide.
Participation looks different depending on the business and the town. Some are fully closed. Some are staying open but donating proceeds, offering free items, or serving as a gathering space. If you're curious as to why the Portland list is so small, keep in mind we are just going off of what local media news has reported so far. We suspect there are many more businesses in the Portland area who are taking a stand.

What the nationwide anti-ICE strike is about
Organizers of the strike are asking people to pause normal life for 24 hours. The tactic is straightforward: stop spending, stop working if you can, and stop feeding everyday economic systems. Supporters argue this kind of disruption is one of the only ways regular people can force attention and pressure decision makers.

A key theme, even within the threads organizing these lists, is that participation is not one-size-fits-all. Some businesses cannot afford to close. Some employees cannot afford to miss a shift. That is why you see alternatives like donations, free items, community gathering space, and cash-only operations.
The other trend showing up online: boycott lists and the polarization problem
One thing that keeps popping up alongside strike organizing in Oregon subreddits is a separate push: people calling for boycotts of “MAGA businesses,” sometimes based on political identity, sometimes based on rumors, and sometimes based on documented statements or actions.
That trend is worth talking about because it cuts both ways:
- It can be a form of consumer activism when it is grounded in verified information and specific behavior.
- It also fuels the worst parts of identity politics when it becomes a hunt for ideological enemies, especially when claims are unverified or turn into harassment campaigns.
If Oregon’s goal is to stay a functional community, there’s a difference between:
- Choosing where to spend your money based on transparent values and documented actions.
- Treating every purchase like a political purity test and compiling boycott lists based on hearsay.
The end result of the second version is predictable. More suspicion, more public shaming, more tribal sorting, and less shared reality. And once everything becomes a political identity label, it becomes harder for communities to cool down and talk to each other at all.
A reasonable middle ground is simple:
- Verify before you amplify.
- Criticize actions and statements, not rumors.
- Avoid doxxing, targeting, or harassment.
- If your goal is persuasion, remember that scorched-earth purity tests usually produce the opposite.
