We’ve voted, we’ve protested, and still, they ignore us. Our government refuses to meet our basic needs while the billionaire class hoards wealth and power. The General Strike is a grassroots network of regular people who know our greatest power is our labor and our right to refuse it. We aim to unite every person and organization fighting for racial, economic, and environmental justice so that together, we can see real change in our lifetimes.
For transparency, I’m Canadian, but I figured I’d share.

I really should remove this as it’s not an article, but it goes a long way to show just how ineffective a general strike is.
They need 11 million people to commit, they have less than 300,000. 2.7% of their goal.
Good luck with that!
It’d be a lot different if they were making moves to get as many as those 300k to the capital as possible. Its much harder to ignore when the protesting and striking is on your front lawn.
Oh, Trump wouldn’t care. Congress arguably would if the protest shut down the city.
Trump would fuck off to Mar A Lago.
I would like to know more about their demands and leadership. A strike requires strong leadership to negotiate, and to keep the strikers from getting cold feet. A website with a form isn’t leadership.
I say this as someone who is building a cushion so my family and I can ride out a general strike. I want change, and I’m willing to strike for it.
They aren’t talking about demands until they’ve had 8 to 11 million commit to the strike. LOL - good luck with that…
Yeah, everyone should just give up to the fascist dictator, amiright?
This is such a blind, defeatist attitude to take. Every protest, every strike started with a small group of strong-willed people and grew into something capable of tearing down empires. Don’t join it if you’re so pessimistic, but leave those willing to fight alone. At the end, they’ll have done more than you ever did.
No, people should organize to take back the House and Senate in '26.
He’s ignoring Congress now and the Republicans control both chambers. That isn’t going to change if the Democrats win.
If the Democrats control both the House and the Senate they can shut his shit down.
They had the house, senate, and executive in 2021, and didn’t prosecute him. One state got a suit in before he won, and they couldn’t even get to sentencing.
What is going to be different?
House needs to be a simple majority, Senate needs to be a super majority, then we’ll see action.
This is a total info-gathering op… Only a removed would list their name and phone number
You don’t need a card to strike
Strike cards have a historic precedent, and it’s useful from an organizer perspective to hold people to the commitment
OK but you don’t need one and you sure as shit don’t need to give your name and phone number. This isn’t being organized by a union.
