    What about those of us who have to work to put food on the table?

    That’s all of us, homie

    Attending a protest or rally is one thing, but participating in a general strike is something else entirely.

    It’s not calling for a general strike

      It’s literally calling for a general strike on Feb 28 and March 15. No work, etc. on those days.

        If you want to count 1 day as such then sure, but then you don’t get to act like taking 1 day off is some big ordeal that will impact people

          If it got 10% of the workforce participating for one day, it would make the powers nervous.

          30% participating or more than one day would make them panic, like the Hong Kong protests.

        A one day outage does nothing. Even people supporting that day will get their shit done the day before or the day after.

        Christ, look at Portland, 100 straight days of protests did nothing.
