We need a general strike in the USA. Let’s make a list of demands, pick a date, and threaten to withhold our labour and crash the economy on that date unless the demands are met. Organize general strikes across multiple industries, boycott anti-union companies, maybe even do bank runs and deliberate attempts to crash the stock market and weaken the US dollar. Get the campaign to trend and go viral on other online platforms. Organize concerts and art fairs to raise money for strike funds to support the striking workers.
here’s my ideas for demands to start
Demands:
- Medicare for All
- 4-day work week
- $15 minimum wage
- Unionize Amazon, Walmart, and Starbucks
good strike dates:
- may 1 - international workers’ day
- july 4 - independence day
- sep 1 - labor day
- nov 28 - black friday
Sadly doesn’t really work like that. Are you a member of a union?
There’s been like a million general strike declarations over the past few years, generally doesn’t accomplish much. There’s a lot working against us.
