Come join /r/MayDayStrike to discuss organizing for a future general strike

/r/MayDayStrike

There is a lot of momentum and I am encouraging people to try to organize locally as soon as possible by doing things like joining the IWW (one big union) and reaching out to local leaders

What’s your favorite thing about October

Mine is the cozy vibe. And looking at trees at the window, changing colors, and the leaves falling down

Experienced Organizers?

EDIT: Typo

Hey y'all,

So I just heard about the general October strike around a month ago and was excited for it until I did some digging and found that there were criticisms of the movement for not being thought out enough or for not having given enough time for experienced organizers to prepare.

So my question is: where are the experienced organizers and what are they saying? Is there any chance to get this "train" back on it's intended course? Should we cancel? Does the date need to be reassessed? Are there any specific websites or directories we can reference?

I'm sick of this unnatural way of living via capitalism. We gotta do something about this.
