Time for a General Strike

[PCIntern]

Yes folks, forget marches on DC, writing to your Congressperson, or posting on FB. Hit em where it hurts: work stoppages throughout the land.

With social media it would spread like a Russian-based bot.

It would do the job.

7. I advocate mass sit ins and blockades

at state Capitol buildings.
Especially in red states.

8. Every geographic location is different, so mainly just be aware of what is happening in your area.

I have written to my GOP House Representative, Morgan Griffith, several times. I always get a form letter from an aide. He is all in with Trump, so that leaves my option as working for his opponent right now. The main local news is owned by Sinclair, so that is a dead end.

9. Good on ya!

I just wonder what we can do during a general strike since we're not in the work force.

6. All of us retired people could just not spend a dime while strike is going on.

10. If I knew the solution I would do it now and the point would be mute.

If you don't want to hold a sign or march in public, at least confront people if you are able (not everyone is, so it's okay), but at least vote. Different people are able to do different things. Discover yourself. Do what you can. If you don't want to stand on a street corner, maybe just donate $25.

11. I want to know what I'm going to do

I work part time at a community college whose student body is well over half POC, mostly immigrants. Do I strike or keep teaching the immigrants? Seriously, I don't know how to react.

12. Everyone strikes. Thus the term. Everyone of
