The General Strike
generalstrikeus.com
The General strike -the people united shall never be stopped. If we strike together we can make true real change. Sign the strike card today.

We’ve voted, we’ve protested, and still, they ignore us. Our government refuses to meet our basic needs while the billionaire class hoards wealth and power. The General Strike is a grassroots network of regular people who know our greatest power is our labor and our right to refuse it. We aim to unite every person and organization fighting for racial, economic, and environmental justice so that together, we can see real change in our lifetimes.

For transparency, I’m Canadian, but I figured I’d share.

    Organizing a movement as such requires online activism but also boots on the ground listening and connecting with their community. Our chapters not only help spread awareness about GSUS but by being involved in community empowerment initiatives or organizing their own.

    In order to stay true to decentralization, In order to prevent this movement from being stopped, Or a “Leader” being targeted. We seek to explode into many interconneced nodes. State to State, this interconnected system of collaboration will ensure our basic needs are met before and after the strike.

    The presentation doesn’t have too much information. A lot of their organization seems to occur over regular Discord meetings, and partnering with other grassroots movements & groups.

    So there’s clearly lots to be improved, but I respect that it’s something. Best of luck to you and your family. I also want change!
