Please remember, there are millions of people who are going about their lives as though everything is normal right now. There are also folks who have no idea that we exist, including groups and organizations who could be great allies. Mobilizing and organizing all of them is a huge undertaking.

NPS is preparing for more firings. But they know parks are popular, so they’re trying to hide these cuts while gutting NPS from the inside out

They’re planning to go after regional and national offices. You wont meet these staff in a park, but they're specialists who are the backbone of the NPS 💚

Last week, 6,709 people signed their strike card. Since 1/20/25, hundreds of thousands have. But we need MORE.

Share at protests, put up flyers, talk with your community. Can you get (3) people to sign their strike card this week? That’s one step closer to a strike. It’s time to go all in.

This is a look at just a FEW of the many groups that will participate in the General Strike. 11 million ain't out of reach, my friends.

Each of us have to call others in, share about the Strike as an option to fight against fascism AND to make our country better, so we're never here again.

America has NOT been a place where the majority of us feel safe, heard, taken care of, respected, or in abundance. Or job security. Or in good health.

Marginalized groups have BEEN suffering. The “good fight” has been taking place for years, too.

It’s just all coming to light in a mainstream way.
This is worth noting:
Yes, the 3 Musk-ateers (Trump, Vance, Musk) have wrecked havoc & continue to do so from Trump’s first presidency, to the campaign trail, and in the now.

However, the government - its members, bodies, systems, regulations, capitalist schemes, etc. - has BEEN corrupt.
These are not new concepts. The Republican Party has been talking about this for the past twenty years or more. So you all must be talking to the uninformed masses

Ableism is a Pandemic. The amount of nastiness aimed at disabled people is abhorrent.

Sadly it's as bad today as it was when I was a child. Children roaring in laughter at the "funny" way I ran. Today people still mock my clumsy gait.
