THIS FRIDAY JANUARY 30TH 2026, Mount Pleasant’s main street small businesses are speaking out in a coordinated way to stand with solidarity with our immigrant neighbors, friends, family and community. This event will benefit and support AYUDA () a nonprofit providing comprehensive, low-cost or free legal, social, and language services to low-income immigrants in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, including many of the hospitality workers who make our neighborhood thrive. This event is in lieu of a participation in the national shutdown.
Each participating small business will be donating a portion of Friday’s sales to AYUDA.
✨ Speak out
✨ Shop with purpose
Mount Pleasant is more than a neighborhood. It’s a home fueled by diversity and sustained by immigrants and resilience. Many are feeling powerless in this moment, but this collaboration is a tangible way for our community to come together – neighbors, small business owners, immigrants, citizens – stronger together.
