On Thursday, hundreds of bodega’s around New York City plan to close, in order to protest against Donald Trump’s recent travel ban.
According to NBC New York, the protest was organized by a group of Yemeni business owners, who are out to prove that they play an important role in the New York City area.
The protest will take place from 12pm-8pm on Thursday. Following the shut down of their stores, the organizers plan to rally at Brooklyn Borough Hall.
