A teacher in a state where it is illegal for teachers to strike asked what she could do to support the strike. That's an excellent question and I thought you should all know the answers.
First some information about the General Strike US please read - https://onemommy.substack.com/p/the-general-strike?r=113nff.
Organizers are asking for everyone's support. Even those who are unemployed, retired, students, homemakers, etc. Organizers are also looking for corporate, athletic, celebrity support, etc.
They are not asking for essential workers to stop working. Emergency services, medical professionals, teachers, police, hospital workers, small business workers, etc.
My understanding of the General Strike US is to show the billionaire oligarchs that they need us more than the we need them. To this purpose, the most important strikers are the good under paid workers who actually work for billionaire corporation like Amazon, Tesla, SpaceX/Starlink Experience More and Beyond cell phone plans at T-Mobile, auto workers, oil companies, farmers, ranchers, national restaurant chains, department store chains, grocery stores chains, warehouse chains (except Costco) etc. Everyone start boycotting all these businesses now.
To rebuild our economy it benefits everyone to support your local businesses. Stop buying from rich greedy thieves who own the national businesses. Never stop supporting, small local businesses!
We have a constitutional right to strike but the constitution means nothing since we are now being ruled by a criminal Dick Traitor who doesn't give a damn about the constitution or our laws. Therefore, jobs could be lost. There is no way to know when the strike will start, but if you are planning to strike start preparing now. Start saving now. Stock up on non-perishables essentials. Maybe look for a side hustle to get you through this potentially difficult time. There is no way to know how long the strike will last but historically strikes last less than a month. Demands will not be written until they get closer to the eleven million citizens (watch the 3.5% Rule below) they need to sign the strike card. I am hoping that their first demand will be for the immediate resignation of the true homegrown criminal lunatic tRump.
When the oligarchs start losing money they will demand their Führer the tRump to resign too.
Why is everyone being asked to sign the General Strike US card? Non-workers and people who don't work for these Multi-billionaire businesses can help support the cause in many ways.
~ First never forget the power of your words, written or spoken. One of the most important things you can do to support the strike and the resistance is help spread the word.
~ Boycott the oligarchs and their multi-billionaire corporations. (Check the Ethical Consumers Boycott list below)
~ Support the movement at BernieSanders.com. Senator Sanders has plans to take the power away from the oligarchs and return the power to the people. If you want to earn more money and have access to affordable housing, education, medical, child and elder care watch Senator Sanders YouTube videos and join the resistance at BernieSanders.com.
~ Volunteer to help organize and support the strike.
~ Businesses that want to help end the tRump and his administration from hell please consider making good trouble and encouraging your workers to strike.
~ Please support the strikers and their families by providing food, meals, essentials, child care, money, etc.
