Around the country, some businesses are encouraging its immigrant employees to stay home Thursday, says a report by ABC 7.

Immigrants participating in the “A Day Without Immigrants” campaign are set to stay home rather than going to work, school or shopping to show how much immigrants contribute to the country’s economy and culture.

The strike is in response to the Trump Administration’s strong stance on illegal immigration; will take place in Washington D.C., Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Austin, TX and other major cities.

Demonstrators have planned to march in Washington D.C. at 12 p.m. E.T.
