At least one business in Aurora will close on Monday to participate in "A Day Without Immigrants." This nationwide movement aims to highlight the invaluable contributions that immigrants make to the fabric of American society. By temporarily shutting its doors, the business owner hopes to draw attention to the critical roles that immigrants play in various sectors, from agriculture to technology.

The protest serves as a reminder of the economic and cultural impact immigrants have across the country. Many businesses and workers are joining the effort to demonstrate solidarity and raise awareness about the challenges faced by immigrant communities. The decision to close is not taken lightly, as it reflects a commitment to advocating for fair treatment and recognition of immigrant contributions.

As the day unfolds, supporters are encouraged to share their stories and experiences, fostering a greater understanding of the immigrant experience in the United States. This collective action aims to inspire dialogue and promote positive change within communities.
