Organizers said they expect even greater numbers on March 28 in the wake of Trump's immigration crackdown in Minneapolis, where violent clashes have led to the death of two people.
There is a nationwide general strike this Friday. Not fucking 2 months out.
I hope thy are right, but I think this one is gonna flop.
We need a nation wide strike every Friday.
The last one have over 7 million people if I recall.. what the fuck makes you think its gonna flop? They've been the biggest protests in US history.
Because I think people will see nothing is happening because of it, and stop paying attention to that event.
Never announce an end date to a strike. You do it until you get what you want.
Has to start somewhere. This is now the second Friday in a row. Let’s keep it up.
Once a week is a lot better than “no kings” … every 6 months haha.
I don't think there is a general strike that succeeds in this country without mass organization of militarized labor. They have already proven they will kidnap or kill you for defying them. What do you think their response will be towards the profits being threatened?
It will be to disrupt and destroy that movement with state violence before it starts.
We can't expect a one day or even a once a week strike to be the end. It would only be the start. Because when these strikes do not result in progress; do not feel loss. Do not accept a minor retreat of our enemy as a victory either. If we want real change then these strikes will move into armed occupation of datacenters, warehouses, and eventually the militarized strongholds of ICE. Because that is where their retaliation to strikes with violence will force anyone willing to stand up to them.
