There’s also a national walkout day Jan 20th but I don’t know how much traction this is getting

Sweet! Four day weekend!
lol the .ca TLD threw me off
Do you remember that website for a general strike that was definitely not an op? Whatever happened with that?
This one?
https://generalstrikeus.com/
I saw people handing out cards for it at one of the ICE protests over the weekend so I’m assuming it still still active. Just doesn’t have 11 mill yet.
That's the one
It's ABSOLUTELY 💯💯💯 an op. You don't need a card to go on strike. You don't need to give your name, email, hometown, or phone number or be counted on a list to go on strike
Moreover, their website is WAY too slick. Only a sucker would give them any information
Freeameri.ca looks legit, though!
Glad the unions are getting involved but what's this weak ass shit about it being one day? The whole point of a strike is you do it until they negotiate and meet your demands. One day won't achieve much.
But to be clear everyone should participate, it's better than nothing. We should get other states to participate too.
People need to build networks for a sustained strike, it can't just materialize. A one day strike is a benefit if people get out and start that networking so that future strikes can go longer.
Minnesota? How about national
Give it time. Let MN cook here. Don't let perfect be the enemy of good
I intend to do it in solidarity anyway, and I doubt we're alone.
Sadly this will only hurt those in Minnesota, many of whom don't want ICE there to begin with.
