"the most powerful messaging at no kings came from the mayor of chicago"

a "reel" on fb

mayor brandon johnson:
"...so here's what we need to do in this moment. if my ancestors, as slaves, can lead the greatest general strike in the history of this country, taking it to the ultra rich and big corporations, we can do the same today!

narrator: "did you hear that? a legitimate call to action?! no wonder the mainstream media doesn't want you to see this. the establishment doesn't care if a few million people go on a walk... but if a few million people stop going to work? yeah... they can't let that happen"
