This Friday, the general strike is going nationwide.

At least that's the aim of activist groups, unions, and some celebrities who have called for no work, school, or shopping after fatal shootings by immigration officers in recent weeks in Minnesota.

In a post promoting a "National Shutdown," actor Hannah Einbinder wrote on Instagram that "withholding our labor and capital is our most effective leverage. national general strike spread the word!"

Actor Pedro Pascal shared a graphic of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, the two Minnesotans shot by federal agents, that says "Pretti Good Reason For A National Strike," and posted in support of a larger strike on the 30th.

It's unclear how widespread participation in the blackout will be or what impact it may have on ICE operations. A website for the "National Shutdown" lists hundreds of organizations as endorsers.

"Last week's march brought out tens of thousands of people, lets make this Friday even bigger," the University of Minnesota Graduate Labor Union wrote in an Instagram post.
