Seven hundred businesses reportedly closed in solidarity. Democracy Now!’s John Hamilton filed a report from the streets. John Reuss, an English teacher, said his students are afraid. “The fear is so tangible,” said Reuss. “If we do not shut it down right now, your city is next.” Democracy Now! is an independent global news hour that airs on over 1,500 TV and radio stations Monday through Friday.
