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!!

How can we make it more feasible for people to strike?
Title. I saw in another sub basically explaining how the commenter in an upper middle class office job takes the day off, they’ll just subtract it from his PTO and tell him to let them know in advance next time. For your average worker at Walmart, McDonald’s, etc, they can probably be fired very easily (despite any rightful protections they might have).
So, how do we introduce a sort of security for these people that might lose their jobs, so that we can get more people to participate? A large-scale mutual aid would be great for this but it doesn’t feel feasible. Obviously, local community events providing food and housing and such are good ideas but hard to standardize in anyway across the country to make them available for everyone. Does anyone else have ideas for the ways in which we can make this actually possible for everyone? We need as many people as possible to stop participating in the economy in October, and it’ll be very hard to convince the workers that have a lot on the line here.

Remember to use libraries to spread awareness
At the library you can print out things for only like 10 cents. They also sometimes have boards where you can but up flyers I think.

TRUCKERS
hi, title says it all. A majority strike would be great if we can pull it off, but if we can figure out how to convince truckers to strike, even for a short period, it would have massive ramifications for the economy!
I've done some research- tuckers have successfully striked and it led to better work conditions, but the industry is hip to this now and it is a lot harder and more dangerous to strike as a trucker.
If anyone has some ideas, or knows a trucker to help us out that old be great!
