We should probably try though, because of the implications.
Might be better off signing up here. They're trying to get commitments for a general strike.
They document working on narrowing their demands more specifically once they hit certain goals.
I’ll Post It.
Why would they not be able to ignore this? They're already beating their own country's economy with a stick. Something I think a lot of foreigners don't understand is that the US Federal Government doesn't own the US Industry, they police it.
Whats going to happen? They're going to lose like 0.25% tax revenue for the year and run out of funding for all the programs they run? OHWAIT, they're already not funding those programs.
You have a better plan?
Yeah, hold up a sign outside of a state capital, sign up to volunteer with the DNC or with Bernie Sanders' organization, or print out some flyers for local Union organization steps and legal protections to put up at high traffic areas like rest stops and parks.
Sounds good. Let’s get the word out and organize this.
Well, that's a Saturday so I won't be doing anything anyway.
A single day? And a weekend at that? Did Trump pick the date? Lol
That's not gonna do shit.
A weekend means that lots and lots of people who would get fired if they missed work to protest will get to protest.
Maybe make better worker rights (or any at all) part of your demands
You can demand that and you should, but the reality right now is those workers do not have the right to take a day off of work to protest.
And there is a disturbing thread I have seen lately on Lemmy where people suggest those workers should lose their job to protest because they have to suffer if they want to end their suffering apparently.
Then help them organize better.
Everyone bickering in this thread needs to just repost this image somewhere and shut up. That's how these things spread, via small communities. The only reason I saw it was this post, the only reason someone else might learn about it is my post. Unless you already have a better idea, and are organizing and trying to promote it, the least you can do is try and spread the word. The only way we win is together, so either bring a better solution to the table or get in line and help us fight.

Yes the people who can’t even agree on what colour the sky is are gonna all agree to stop everything for a day
Oh, the conservatives won't take part.
We don't care what they do.
Terrible date. Make it a weekday.
