When ICE/CBP tried to invade NC we stepped up to protect each other. When workers launch the #GeneralStrike we will do the same to protect them from retaliation! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-HzF...

We get push back against a general strike from folks worried that it will hurt small local businesses. Here's the thing, Fascist abuses of our communities are going to hurt small business a LOT more than a few days (or weeks or event months) of a general strike.

Charlotte ‘nearly empty’ as local businesses struggle amid ICE crackdown
City officials and business owners say the presence of U.S. Border Patrol has triggered a drop in foot traffic among customers.

Organized workers can implement this policy without bureaucratic approval from the gentry.

If we don't show up to unlock the doors and turn on the lights there is nothing these Fascists can do about it. They'll be left stranded, hungry, with nowhere to pee. #GeneralStrike
Resolution barring ICE/CBP using city property will not proceed this meeting, after more conservative council members refused to advance it and council member Kim Roney folded rather than face an ounce of conflict. #avlgov
Council member Kim Roney, who proposed — with array of community groups — the resolution barring ICE/CBP from using city property, immediately folds, thanking other council members for considering it but not pressing for it to be on agenda or voted on anytime soon. #avlgov

Work stoppage can repel the invasion of Charlotte and our other cities.

Talk to your coworkers about shutting down work until the Gestapo retreats.

If your down to shut it down then get in touch so we can all coordinate for maximum impact and mutual support.

To make a general strike successful we need you, we need each other.

We have to talk w/ coworkers about getting organized at our jobs.

We have to talk w/ out communities about the mutual aid we'll need to sustain the strike.

Today in #LaborHistory 11/2/2011: #GeneralStrike by Occupy Oakland in response to brutal, militarized #police attack on their encampment. 18% of schools closed because of lack of #teachers. 5% of city workers stayed home. #ILWU participation kept Port of Oakland below capacity for the entire day.

Another "raise" that's less than the rate of inflation?

Another Social Security COLA worth less than the rate of inflation?

General Strike!

The best time to build for the #GeneralStrike was 10 years ago.

The second best time is now.

The businesses in Chicago shutting out ICE are proving the power a general strike can wield.

Identify the oppressors. Organize the workers whose labor they depend on. Withhold labor to end the oppression and build a better world for us all. #GeneralStrike

When working people unite to stop work our demands will be met. The oligarchy cannot sustain itself without our labor. #GeneralStrike #ShutDown

The oligarchs power and privilege come from their money, and their money comes from our work. When we withhold our work the oligarchs lose everything.

When the govt closed in 2019 it was Unions at LaGuardia that forced it back open by closing the airport.

Work stoppage can force the oligarchy to change their ways. #GeneralStrike
A government shutdown doesn’t just put us at risk. It also has negative repercussions that last far beyond the shutdown itself.

Co-op conversion is a legitimate labor organizing goal.
Cooperatives are more resilient, and they are more likely to be living-wage employers. As member-owned enterprises, co-ops empower folks, no matter their background, with a say and a stake in economic life.

If Blue is only here for the rhetorical protest we are finished- we must act and we must unite in real sacrifice and support as a nation fighting fascism
We can stop the march of Fascism in its tracks with a #GeneralStrike. We know it, you know it, they know it.

We have to organize. We have to get consensus around demands. We have to plan local/regional/national mutual aid to carry each other through.
