MADISON, WI - Multiple downtown streets are expected to be impacted Friday for an immigrant rights protest.
The march segments of the event are expected to start between 12:40pm and 1 p.m. and will originate from three different locations – East High School, West High School, and Library Mall on the University of Wisconsin campus. The marches are planned to end at 2 p.m. on the Capitol Square. Residents are asked to plan for extra time when traveling in the area.
All Madison schools are closed as teachers are expected to participate for this event called "A Day Without Immigrants," MMSD said 70% of the staff are expected to turnout for the event.

This should be illegal
Another attempt to cloud the line between legal and illegal immigrants. It is about as convincing as saying I am an undocumented pharmacist, not a low-life drug dealer.
“A Day Without Immigrants,”..
Sounds like a good day to me.
No work, no school? May Day Strong protests May 1; what to know today
What holiday is May 1? It’s May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day, and this year it’s drawing renewed attention as organizers behind the national May Day Strong movement call for protests, boycotts and walkouts across the U.S.
May Day protests, a nationwide movement following the latest “No Kings” protests and backed by hundreds of organizations including 50501 and Indivisible, uses the global labor holiday to call attention to economic and workplace issues. For May Day 2026, organizers are encouraging supporters to avoid work, school and shopping on May 1 as part of coordinated protests and visibility actions across the country.
May Day meanings and origins differ, but in several countries, the holiday commemorates the historic struggles and gains made by workers and the labor movement. Organizers say the May 1 protests are intended to be flexible, allowing people to participate in different ways, from attending rallies to skipping work or school or limiting spending for the day. Events are listed in major metro areas like NYC and Philadelphia, and across smaller communities as events are adding in the days leading up to May Day.
Hope ICE is in full force. THAT is the RUIN of 3rd world countries that block arteries that bring product and services to the market.
I remember “a day without Mexicans“ about 20 years ago. I was having an addition put on my house when Jose didn’t make it that day. I asked where is he? They said he’s taking the day off because of the no day without a Mexican thing. I said “tell Jose to enjoy watching reruns all day because I don’t want him back here”. His day off cost me money and slowed down the job.
Exactly.
‘ Hope ICE is in full force.’
Big time.
Absolutely true.
Is this like the “day of silence,” where the fags are anything BUT silent?
I thought “A Day Without Immigrants” was a
good thing....patriots protesting the invasion.
I guess this means the miggies won’t be out campaigning for Congress on Freeloader Immigrant day.
In a sane world, “All Madison schools are OPEN as Ex-teachers are expected to participate…”
But you have a crazy Capitol city.
A day without ILLEGAL immigrants. And it should be EVERY day.
“A day without immigrants” may not provide the outcome they hope for, just saying…
Wray without immigrants is my dream!
Wisconsin. Putting the illegal aliens ahead of Americans again. Elections have consequences. Wake up Wisconsin. Your beloved freeloading “neighbors” are coming for your house.
