Northknits Statement of Solidarity:
As the founder of Northknits, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the nationwide actions taking place today and this weekend in response to recent immigration enforcement actions and deadly incidents involving federal agents. Across the United States, people are participating in protests and calls for a national strike, urging “no work, no school, no shopping” to demand accountability and support for affected communities. These demonstrations reflect deep concern and collective grief sparked by the deaths of community members and the broader impacts of enforcement policies on families and neighborhoods.

To stand in solidarity, I have closed the Northknits shop until Monday, Feb 02, honoring the call to pause and reflect on these critical issues.

I stand with those peacefully advocating for justice, safety, and dignity for all people. If you’re participating in actions or supporting in other ways whether through listening, learning, or showing care in your community, I honor that. - Jewell xx

I’ve compiled a short but curated list of Chicago & Chicagoland local and national organizations offering immigration legal services, advocacy, and community support.
I share this in solidarity and as an informational resource.
