How are you all reaching nonvoters?

generalstrikeus.bsky.social•2 days ago

Great question! So, if we’re talking about people registered to vote, but didn’t vote in the 2024 ejection, because they didn’t like what they saw on either side? I think they would probably align with our cause, as it’s working class focused.

The group you mentioned is extremely valuable. I'd love to see it turn into a third independent caucus in Congress.

I'm obsessed with non-voters, though. I want them to see a reason to change their position and become active.

They're the third bloc

We are chatting with @laborpartybluesky.bsky.social about their work, maybe you could check it out if you’re interested in a working class party!

We are also doing out reach in non political spaces, such as libraries as an example. We are open to suggestions on how you think we should be reaching out to non voters.

Boycott and strike are the superpowers of the people!

generalstrikeus.bsky.social•2 days ago

They really are! Once you start looking at the history of strikes, you realize what a powerful it is. Hence why goverment try to hard to stop it - just sayin

That's true, but why did so much labor support the First Felon? Biden was the most pro-union President in history, and Kamala would have kept up that tradition. The First Felon hates unions.

This would require a nuanced conversation that I don’t think Bluesky can provide🤣. Overall, I think both parties have moved away from the working class, in their own ways. More money into politics which distorts the whole system making it less democratic.

If you are told (insert person) is the reason to blame for your economic woes, and not the uber wealthy class long enough, you will believe it. This is why, yes, our movement is tackling Trump, but also seeks to go beyond Trump and organize a working class movement.

This will take time. Building real coalition takes time. I also want to add that we are reaching out to various labor unions.

Thank unions

Feedback for the folks running the site: I know *many* people both in person and even more folks online who are adamant in their desire to participate but also have a serious reluctance to put their name on a list. I infer numbers could be exponential if this roadblock were overcome.

generalstrikeus.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yes! We’ve started encouraging in person, on paper commits as well, so essentially at protests, libraries, community events anyone can go out to collect signatures and only report back the number of strike cards to GSUS. This could be through DM, email, signal etc. to share the number.

generalstrikeus.bsky.social•3 days ago

With this, only a trusted person has any contact information shared so they can keep people up to date with important news about the strike. We also are working w partner orgs and regional chapters to have them host their own strike card, and only they will manage the contact info, we only get # s

generalstrikeus.bsky.social•3 days ago

The goal is to have hundreds if not thousands of different people/orgs collecting the info so it’s not all in one place. We really just have to be able to share info. This requires people or other orgs to do this! I can share more info if you’re interested but I’m wordy so I can stop here lol

Exactly. Especially with previous Berners who were told that Bernie’s list would NEVER be handed over to DNC. Now many are spammed with nothing but donation requests.

Did anybody show this to @schumer.senate.gov ?

I had to pay weekly (comp. and unemplt.)and had wages stagnate for over 20 years because of the illegal invasion ripple effect to actual skilled people.
