We need 3.5% of the American population to strike. If we go on strike without this, people will struggle even more. We hear you about signing up - it’s scary right now.
But if you’re someone who is adamantly against the use of the strike card, we still want to hear from you…

If it's only main cities a LOT of people won't have access. Those with easy access aren't the ones that'll need more help
There are multiple steps to being able to strike: we are strengthening mutual aid in communities across the country, building food distribution plans for the strike, creating strike funds locally and nationally…
We suggest people enter “1111111111” for the phone number if they don’t want to share theirs, create a proton email, etc….
This is a people-led, grassroots effort. We are all volunteers. If you believe in the strike, share your input. Let’s build this together.
Get them willing to tap into the union strike funds. Get them willing to send direct communication to their membership.
No signing anything, but highly effective at organizing
Work together
It's still only one avenue, though. But the more people talking and working together, the more avenues open up.
Food distribution plans? Post an example.
Starting and managing a strike fund? Post a how-to article.
Give examples of the mutual-aid systems you're creating.
Got any recommended reading?
The “Great Upheaval” of 1877 started as a railroad strike against wage cuts…communities joined in, challenging the power of banks, manufacturing corporations, and even state and local governments. Reconstruction quelled this uprising... the nationwide wage-cutting craze was slowed
Most of these things were lie on the technical proficiency of the user, you can only do so much as a platform. My advice is to use the estimated numbers at these protests as a measure.
The biggest thing now is showing up to a protest with your mask on, your cell/bt/wifi off, and your phone in airplane mode. Blur faces in pictures.
If you have to use mobile stuff, get the cheapest crap from China and change it frequently, using anonymous sim cards. Switch it off as often as possible.
General public very unaware, don't know where to start. I keep recommending people talk to local librarians. Seems the best, easy local source for most.

One project for the outreach team right now is to put all of this information together in a way that is accessible, easy to share, etc.
Personally, I think redirecting people to their own communities while they're so motivated is critical right now. Once you start organizing, it's addictive haha
1) Strike EVERY DAY!
2) Have clear DEMANDS. WHO do we want to take action? What action? ONE POSSIBILITY is demanding that Congress impeach & remove Trump.
3) more 👇

I know a lot of people are interested in the movement but absolutely will not put their name on any list
Announce a date, put hashtags on it, and people will follow through.
People ARE already mobilizing, but >
We need better policies and systems and mass mobilization. We also need to prioritize strategy and safety while doing it, or it’s not going to work.
There will be false flags. They will use what they can.
One of the biggest things that happened over this weekend was that transit and police systems were overwhelmed by the number of people that showed up. That’s because people were smart.

More than half, so the strike or else striking individuals will loose their jobs in an unforgiving job market. I think boycotts and strikes are our
most effective strategies, but they’ll need tons of coordination
I can’t strike in good conscience but am pro union so I don’t know how to reconcile this nobody wants to be a scab
Get them to walk - they’re nationally organized.
Everyone else has to schedule time to watch their kids.
Now you have their attention.
This also gives you a deadline - summer is already planned for, and fall is too long to wait.
Who is negotiating on behalf of the resistance to agree that the terms have been met to end the strike?
“Strike” is an action not a message.
What are the specific demands?
You need to establish broadly attractive and realistic goals.
Resistances have fallen over this problem.
We need to humiliate them on the national or world stage.
The huge turnout of Hands Off protesters is a good start. Let's make the dictators look like losers and buffoons.
It's middle school politics, but it works.

Normally, a strike is a threat to do economic damage if concessions are not made, but this admin clearly *welcomes* economic damage, so the strike is no threat to them.
And I'm not sure how a general strike is meant to build mutual support.
When the moment is right
Without thinking.
Just GO!!!
Show your force.
Fight.
P.S., I'll be really pissed if I'm forced to go back to work because my retirement funds are depleted.
It's any means of resistance. Think work to rule, economic blackouts, boycotts, and even crafting (crochet, knitting, carpentry, etc.) can be effective parts of a general strike.

It’s not as scary as people think. The FBI and CIA have tracked people on the internet for years.
