Because the national momentum is going to fizzle out quickly if there’s no end in sight and no concrete achievable demand.
I will assume you are asking genuinely, but I hope you realize that every step that has prepared people to strike has been disparaged by people saying “not enough!”
I don’t think such a strong yet peaceful resistance to ICE could have happened without the series of No Kings protests.
I don’t think that the statewide strike could have happened without the persistent yet peaceful protest and resistance.
I don’t think the national one day strike could happen tomorrow without some evidence of it being successful and effective at the state-level, which it was.
An ongoing strike will be more likely to be successful if it follows a series of one day strikes. Yet a certain contingent cries “forever national strike now”, as if that can manifest itself just by saying it. So I’m sorry if you’re taking heat for a genuine concern, but it follows a long line of other users questioning if any action is “enough”.
In the realm of strike action, it’s like rotating strikes for an industry or work-to-rule instead of going directly to an all out work stoppage. These are tools you need to take time and prepare to use, and use them effectively. America’s not used to resisting the federal apparatus en masse like this in decades. Allow people some time and training. And I don’t imagine tomorrow will be the last day people decide to take action to resist the Trump admin.
