Part 1 Take a moment to listen to this message about voting and general strike, and how the two converge with the upcoming midterm elections in the US. Also, this creator is based in FL and talks a lot about GSUS, so go give them a follow on Instagram Profile: www.instagram.com/educator_gsu... 👇

So, another person shot by ICE. We need a general strike. Get involved in your local chapters. Help do the community work needed to sustain a general strike. Our hearts go out Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, and we hope he recovers well, both physically and mentally.

So happy about this partnership!

THIS is the Trump Administrations proposed budget. In Trump’s words, there is no money for healthcare or childcare because he is fighting a war, and wars are expensive. Below is a thread breaking down some info regarding GSUS. 👇 usafacts.org/articles/wha...

A LONG THREAD‼️ Okay, gather around everyone. Let’s talk strike cards & what WE need to do to prepare for a long term sustained strike. For some this information might be redundant, but we think it’s important enough to bare repeating, & hopefully this can create a discussion in the comments. 👇👇👇

To add to the video, yes, you should still vote. However, we are going to have to walk and chew gum at the same time. We have TONS of reasources on the type of work that needs to be done. Join your local chapter. Start the work with an already assembled group. Start your own local charter. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

Take a moment to read our thread about the upcoming May Day. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

So the No Kings protest has passed. If you went, how did you use this opportunity to build connections, that can actually lead to community building? Or more specifically, building to prepare for a general strike?

There’s much that can be learned from Fannie Lou Hamer and built upon. A co-op of Freedom Farms 🤔

Fannie Lou Hamer viewed co-ops as the foundation of political power.

This is a very important message from Zede. She runs a mutual aid org called Seeds Worth Sowing based in MN. Definitely check her out. Zede: www.instagram.com/zuhdae?igsh=... Seeds Worth Sowing: www.instagram.com/zuhdae?igsh=...

How will you be using the No Kings protest to actually build community, and make sure your activism moves BEYOND a single day? Sound off in the comments. A guide on the type of work that EVERYONE needs to be doing AFTER the protest ends: peoplespowerplaybook.my.canva.site

Yes to all of this

Kat Abughazaleh: "Democrats are still operating as if the only levers of power are legislation and votes and conversations behind closed doors. We need to talk seriously about general strikes about breaking quorum about exploiting parliamentary procedure."

@wanderslut.bsky.social - credit for the video Say it once, and we’ll say it again. Get involved in your local chapters. If a local chapter does not exist, start one. Get involved in local mutual aid. Get involved in multiple groups. We hear at General Strike support it when people are in 👇

We posted this a while ago, but it’s a breakdown of how general strike works, and hopefully will answer people’s questions. It can get more concise than this. You have the information. The rest is up to you. bsky.app/profile/gene...

There. Are. A. Million. And. One. Reasons. To. Strike. This is one of them. We were never fans of Trump, but he did say “no new wars” (we didn’t believe him, but obviously someone did) and clearly, it’s always been about war, power & dominance. Congress is silent, so it has to be on us.

True story: Multiple people run this account, but the person typing this out, my moms insurance company denied her blood pressure meds, so her doctor has to go to the insurance company to argue why it’s necessary. The healthcare system in the U.S. is killing us slow. Striking saves lives.

Hey all! Our chapter is having its second in person meeting. We plan on making these monthly. This a great opportunity to meet like minded people, and ask your questions 👍 Let us know if you have any questions about the event, and we will see you there #generalstrike #losangeles

Hearing word about a GLOBAL strike on March 7th! Join your communities! Community is necessary for a strike, get out there and stay connected! #revolution #togetherstrong #GSUS @generalstrikeus.bsky.social

And on top of this, our literally tax dollars are funding these people; whether directly or indirectly Think of the government subsidies many of these people’s companies have received?

A reminder that ICE/DHS is indeed doing illegal activity cause they break all that laws. Some criticize a general strike is risky due to the potential legal ramifications, but why should we care about a general strike being legal when the government doesn’t care about keeping things legal?

This alone should get people on board with the general strike. These billionaires are LITERALLY movie villains. But there is more of us than them. NEVER forget that. Strike Card: generalstrikeus.com/strikecard
