Anchorage residents gathered near the Martin Luther King, Jr. Living Memorial on Jan. 23 in support of Minneapolis' general strike. The general strike called for a nationwide shutdown on work, schools and shopping in response to the Trump Administration’s immigration policies, according to reporting by Al Jazeera. The Anchorage rally was organized by the Party for Socialism and Liberation of Anchorage in partnership with clubs from UAA, including Anchorage Students for Peace and Justice in Palestine and the Student Social Work Coalition Club. Shellie Gooden, a representative from the Local 878 union, came out to speak.
