Happy #GeneralStrike day, for those with the ability or privilege to participate.
The general strike is being organized through #NationalShutdown, a decentralized grassroots movement across multiple cities. The national strike is a continuation of the statewide strike that occurred in Minnesota on January 23.
General strikes, without forward planning, are difficult. In a country where almost half the population is facing some level of food insecurity, asking minimum wage workers to not work, is a lot.
For today, if you can honor the strike, that’s fantastic. Thank you. If you have capital to spare, please donate to the orgs created to help people who are striking. If you can’t strike on short notice, withhold your capital. #Boycott #billionaires.
Looking forward, let’s work on plans to support ourselves and our people during longer actions. I love y’all, We got this. See you in the streets. 💃🏻
