Fantom Comics closed on 1/30 in support of nationwide strike

FANTOM COMICS WILL BE CLOSED THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 30. No FRIDAY NIGHT MAGIC, sorry! As part of the nationwide strike in solidarity with Minneapolis, we encourage you to do the same: no work, no school, no shopping. If ICE continues, what's happening there will come to DC. Trump has already normalized seeing National Guard soldiers in full gear on P Street outside Fantom every day. The District of Columbia is vulnerable - without statehood, we can't leverage state power against the federal government's crimes the way Minnesota can. If you strike with us on Friday, we encourage you to attend protests & marches in your city.

We know about two so far in DC:
12:45pm Howard U student-led GET ICE OUT march from Sankofa cafe (2714 Georgia Ave NW) to Franklin Park, and then the White House
3:00pm STOP FUNDING ICE protest at Gallery Place-Chinatown Metro (7th & H St NW), 0.9 miles from the White House

For those who get their comics charged via Sola, charges will be done a day earlier, on Thursday, January 29th. If you'd like us to wait until next Friday instead please respond to this email and let us know.
