Hey! Anyone here from the 757/ Hampton Roads area of Virginia? I’m a college student so I won’t have a job during the strike but would love to help support those who are striking!

Change the branding. People won't buy into a one day strike because it won't likely be effective. If Oct 15 is just the start date, make that clear. If not rethink the strategy.

I'd love to participate, I'm just getting so annoyed every time I see people promoting what looks like a one day strike.

1877 Railroad strike lasted a month and a half - succeeded
1919 Seattle strike lasted 5 days - failed
1934 West coast strikes lasted 83 days - succeeded

People need to be prepared for a longer strike if we want success

I’ve posted information about the strike here and it’s received thousands of upvotes and I’m getting a lot of feedback and am overwhelmed with trying to respond to everyone who is interested- can any of the organizers and folks here help me out with this? It’s been super productive so far I think- but just too much for one person 🤩

Opinion: Absolutely Everybody has to strike.

tl;dr: Everybody needs to participate in the strike for it to work and we need to empower every person to do it.


Fuck yeah guys I’m excited that we are doing a national strike for our workers rights. The time has come and this is our first step to freeing ourselves of the shackles of capitalism. I am thrilled for the change in our favor finally!

However I’ve been reading on here “if you can’t strike” this and that. And I understand the sentiment. It is a tough thinking about the risks of not working. And not wanting to guilt people for feeling nervous or afraid for the security of their home or family. I understand. But the people who practically own us, our homes, our cars, and our right to education rely on that fear.

That is why I think absolutely every single American needs to go on strike. All of us are under paid in this country, even if you do make more than $20 an hour. I think food service and customer service should be one of the highest paying jobs out their because it is so mentally and physically exhausting. Teachers should be revered like in other countries! And we shouldn’t be so afraid of asking our employers for livable wage and livable hours thinking we’ll be fired. Why would that be a fear? Our jobs don’t own us.

So please don’t let them I beg you. They are relying on people not participating in the strike and having small numbers. There is strength in numbers!!! You’ll feel so empowered when the entire country is standing with you ( minus bezos )

So let’s end the abuse of the working class. Four day work weeks. 12 weeks maternity leave. Health care. $20 an hour. Environmentally friendly only world. 25% corporate tax.


God bless and long love the revolution!!
