Learn how there will be resources and opportunities for us all to help each other get through this movement, we must succeed and we will succeed as long as we stay united, staying united means never being alone! Let’s take back our country together!
If not working on any of these days is impossible for you, or if you feel not working would do nothing but hurt your immediate community (like me), then we can still consider participating in all other aspects!
I have a feeling that there won’t be protests during Trump’s term. He said he’d set the US armed forces on protesters, in a move to put them off doing so. Didn’t he try and get the US army to open fire on Black Lives Matter protesters in his first term, and they refused? Maybe this time they won’t.
A global economic blackout hurts local economies. Canadians are participating in Buy Canadian, which shuns US conglomerates & supports local businesses. This is what other countries can do as well.
I would like to suggest that none of us pay our taxes this year. Musk is going to steal all the money anyway. And since they're firing everyone, who's going to come after millions of us?
We’re watching a fascist takeover in real time and you think this is going to matter? This is why we lose and will continue to lose. We have become a nation of impotent cowards and the government does not fear us.
Yea precise we can’t have a general strike if we can’t even agree what day it is. I know moneys hard to come by when that’s the crux of what we’re fighting, but this needs to be a campaign set in stone.
Why one day here and there? Regularly scheduled protests could build momentum and exert continuous pressure until Trump is removed. That's how the Berlin Wall was ultimately forced to be knocked down and united Germany.
It looks to me that different days are calling for different things. I have no doubt that once it starts it’ll turn into what you speak of. It depends on what different people are able to do.
Is it Friday March 14th or Saturday March 15th?
I've seen both dates calling for the same action on your feed.
Already took the 15th off. Do I need to take the 14th off too??
Thanks for clarifying.
I permanently stopped shopping at Walmart and Home Depot three years ago. Stopped Amazon and Target a month ago. Never go to Chick Fil A or Hobby Lobby. It really isn't that hard.
Shop local or choose wisely when shopping at national chains.
This is a bit out-of-touch. Most folks with regular jobs can't just decide to do "No Work" for a day on a whim. Most of the repercussions of no work that day would fall on them, the workers, or their co-workers, and not nearly as much on the companies they work for.

It seems there will be a General Strike the 14th-15th of March as of now. If you can't do both days, that's okay. If you can swing at least one of those days, then please do! Everyone is able to participate in various degrees depending on their personal situation. DO WHAT YOU ARE ABLE TO DO!
I've thought long & hard about the blackouts. I'm going to work & here's why. All of my clients have Medicaid for insurance. I owe it to them to see them for as long as I can. Because I fully expect to not be able to see them by April 1st.

As a Cdn, I shop Cdn products as much as possible, shop at Cdn grocer not Walmart or Costco (American), dine out at Cdn franchises. Loaded shopping cart up on US Amazon with Tesla products I don't intend to buy to gum up the system. 😁Check https://goodsunitedus.com . And I share all your protest posts.
Thank you. When are y’all showing your muscle to these tyrants? I loved when you hacked Russian TV and played Ukraine stuff. Can we do that to Elons twitter or Fox News?
Oh no Trump is planning on ending wars halving the military budget and cracking down on black budget cia programs and widespread corruption quick better protest
#shutdown315 is what you are talking about, and it's on this list. I don't know that I'll be ready to shut down entirely by then, but I will definitely be cutting back

So which is it?

Support and promote alternative parallel markets - supply chains, barter networks, worker-owned businesses.
Katniss there is a 99% chance that you in particular don’t do anything but argue on the internet.
We MUST stop our reliance on "traditional norms".
Unprecedented times call for Unprecedented solutions!!

If they win, Dems would take back the majority in the house.
Cook meals in advance so you don’t need to buy food!
Delete any shopping/social media apps for the day (ad revenue)
Invite friends over instead of going out!
Problem is, JD Vance replaced him.
How do we impeach an entire cabinet?
I've seen both dates calling for the same action on your feed.
Already took the 15th off. Do I need to take the 14th off too??
Thanks for clarifying.

March 14 & March 15.
March 15 is a Saturday.
Please double check this date.
For instance, the Montgomery Bus Boycott was over a year long.
Now I’m not saying this would take a year. But if we could get all our lazy asses off the teet….
