4. Interesting you pose the question about a national strike.

There are people out there who are asking that we not only go to a protest, but that we designate October 18th as "buy nothing" day. It probably hasn't gotten as much attention as the No Kings protests, but together the two would be very powerful. Not everyone can go to a protest, but they can pledge not to buy a single thing, especially on Amazon.

I'll be doing both.
