ICE OUT: NATIONWIDE SHUTDOWN
JANUARY 30TH
On January 30th, 2026, Garrity Tools refuses to participate in business as usual. That means no money in or out, and sales will be turned off on our website Thursday evening to Saturday morning. We will be pausing shipping and operations for the day in solidarity with others striking.
If you can safely join us, we urge our clay community to forego work or school, and avoid spending money on January 30th.
Call your senators, show up for your community, and share resources and mutual aid.
We understand that striking isn’t feasible for everyone, but contributing what you can strengthens the collective power of our labor and money. Our country is actually run by ordinary people, and when we act collectively we can show those in power that we won’t accept the unacceptable.
STL EVENTS this weekend
