Noncooperation is a powerful tool. It’s time we used it.

Extend your Labor Day weekend with a one-day sick out on Sept. 2nd. We will build this into a movement, we will get justice.

This is why you should join our LA chapter and all the partner organizations in their campaign to boycott Home Depot (among many other reasons)
Screenshot of GSUS Los Angeles’ bluesky post about their boycott against Home Depot in coalition with about 40 organizations. The post reads Hey Los Angeles! Union del Barrio @uniondelbarrio.bsky.social, General Strike LA and 40 other groups are joining together to boycott Home Depot. Sign the petition, pledging you will boycott Home Depot until the demands are met. The top of a photo below the text has a photo of a Home Depot with big red letters reading boycott.

We are not waiting for anyone to save us.

We are organizing NOW for our collective resistance, to stop the rise of fascism and build a country that FINALLY embodies the long stated "liberty and justice for all", not the watered down version we've endured for decades.

A billboard a comrade got up in 2023. We have been preparing for a general strike for years, but it requires all of us to take initiative. No matter who you are or what you do, there is room for everyone in this movement. We only win by coming together in radical solidarity. All power to the people!

The billboard has a white background with black text that reads wages too low? cost of living too high? general strike. generalstrike US dot com. Paid for by the General Strike U.S.
