What are they protesting? Its completely vague about why.
Might be better off signing up here. They’re trying to get commitments for a general strike.
They document working on narrowing their demands more specifically once they hit certain goals.
I’ll Post It.
Why would they not be able to ignore this? They’re already beating their own country’s economy with a stick. Something I think a lot of foreigners don’t understand is that the US Federal Government doesn’t own the US Industry, they police it.
Whats going to happen? They’re going to lose like 0.25% tax revenue for the year and run out of funding for all the programs they run? OHWAIT, they’re already not funding those programs.
You have a better plan?
Yeah, hold up a sign outside of a state capital, sign up to volunteer with the DNC or with Bernie Sanders’ organization, or print out some flyers for local Union organization steps and legal protections to put up at high traffic areas like rest stops and parks.
Sounds good. Let’s get the word out and organize this.
Well, that’s a Saturday so I won’t be doing anything anyway.
A single day? And a weekend at that? Did Trump pick the date? Lol
That’s not gonna do shit.
Then help them organize better.
Yes the people who can’t even agree on what colour the sky is are gonna all agree to stop everything for a day
Read this fucking comment section. A bunch of losers who won’t contribute a damn thing to making change happen.
Good grief.
A lot of losers in this thread think that literally anything mildly disruptive brings about change. That’s not how it works. Change is from paperwork and ballots, not fire and empty shelves.
Everyone bickering in this thread needs to just repost this image somewhere and shut up. That’s how these things spread, via small communities. The only reason I saw it was this post, the only reason someone else might learn about it is my post. Unless you already have a better idea, and are organizing and trying to promote it, the least you can do is try and spread the word. The only way we win is together, so either bring a better solution to the table or get in line and help us fight.
Thank you.
Terrible date. Make it a weekday.
I mean, it’s a Saturday. I’ll already be doing nothing.
I get the whole Ides of March thing but please pick a weekday for a general strike. This is essentially forcing low-wage workers whose positions are more precarious to stop working while white-collar workers basically do nothing.
“You can’t pick a weekday, the poors can’t risk missing a day off from their second job!”
A 10 day general strike would get their attention but I doubt US voters have the stomach for it.

People quarantined for longer in the not so distant past. You have a month to get ready and don’t have to do shit when it’s time. Seems like a no brainer, even for those who don’t want to come out and protest.
Big reason they keep us so poor and vulnerable.
People would have to be willing to pool their resources for that.
Fuckin hell this looks like a facebook repost (1 like 1 prayer, share for jesus) from before I closed my account.
Yeah. If you believe in it make a better graphic for them if you can. Or anyone reading this. I don’t have the skills personally but. They could use it lmao
Loved you in that movie
March 15th is a Saturday. Most things are already closed on Saturday.
White collar places are. This is asking mostly blue collar workers to make a sacrifice.
So? Gotta start somewhere. Blue collar are the guys that are gonna take the first hits, after all.
“Most things.”
Really just 9-5 offices, schools, and places they support. And that’s a benefit because the corporate folks will be able to join as well. People will be able to bring the kids. College students won’t miss class.
Basically you’re taking away the “oh I have to work” excuse from folks who want to get involved. And if folks like that start to join, this thing is going to get big.
Bring the kids to what? Be involved in what? I think the point is to stay home and not travel or spend money or work.
how about you stop posting about it with a PNG on a forum that gets like 20k visitors a month (high end) and go talk to your neighbors and coworkers about doing something more directly local?
You can post while waiting in line or while multitasking, as many of us do. You can do both. Also, the irony of your comment.
Because I live in Trump County so all my neighbors suck. MAGA hats everywhere.
I still fight back by printing out anything I find on here that is critical of Trump and posting it by the mailboxes in the middle of the night when everyone is asleep, but they get ripped down the same morning, every single day.
It’s depressing, and I’m afraid that if I keep doing it the neighborhood will eventually track me down and lynch me, but every day I post a new piece of propaganda. I’m fighting back the safest possible way I can.
Do what you gotta do. Ignore the people who don’t think you’re protesting “the right way”. They almost certainly aren’t doing shit themselves.
I guarantee you there are local politicians in your area who absolutely suck shit, who have established enemies, who aren’t as secure in their positions as they think they are
go learn who they are and make their lives hell.
