Part 1 Take a moment to listen to this message about voting and general strike, and how the two converge with the upcoming midterm elections in the US. Also, this creator is based in FL and talks a lot about GSUS, so go give them a follow on Instagram Profile: www.instagram.com/educator_gsu... 👇

Part 2 of Video. We have to have our energy focused ON MORE than just voting. We need to walk and chew gum at the same time Linktree to Resources for Organizing: linktr.ee/gsusresources

So, another person shot by ICE. We need a general strike. Get involved in your local chapters. Help do the community work needed to sustain a general strike. Our hearts go out Carlos Ivan Mendoza Hernandez, and we hope he recovers well, both physically and mentally.

THIS is the Trump Administrations proposed budget. In Trump’s words, there is no money for healthcare or childcare because he is fighting a war, and wars are expensive. Below is a thread breaking down some info regarding GSUS. 👇 usafacts.org/articles/wha...

General Strike US@generalstrikeus.bsky.social

A LONG THREAD‼️ Okay, gather around everyone. Let’s talk strike cards & what WE need to do to prepare for a long term sustained strike. For some this information might be redundant, but we think it’s important enough to bare repeating, & hopefully this can create a discussion in the comments. 👇👇👇

2 Apr

It’s only going to get worse, and we don’t mean to fear monger, it’s just the objective reality. Especially when people within marginalized communities are asking us to shake a tail feather; warning us. Get involved in your chapter, get involved in mutual aid, start a strike fund

To add to the video, yes, you should still vote. However, we are going to have to walk and chew gum at the same time. We have TONS of reasources on the type of work that needs to be done. Join your local chapter. Start the work with an already assembled group. Start your own local charter. 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

1 Apr

Have you read any of our material which is linked in the bio? Many of your questions may already be answered - especially when is comes to the type of work that needs to be done. Have you researched a local mutual aid group in your area? Sent them an email to asking how you can help?👇

Get that group in touch with your local chapter of general strike? Meet your neighbors on your block/building? We could go on and on, but this is the type of work we are talking about. peoplespowerplaybook.my.canva.site

So the No Kings protest has passed. If you went, how did you use this opportunity to build connections, that can actually lead to community building? Or more specifically, building to prepare for a general strike?

There’s much that can be learned from Fannie Lou Hamer and built upon. A co-op of Freedom Farms 🤔

This is a very important message from Zede. She runs a mutual aid org called Seeds Worth Sowing based in MN. Definitely check her out. Zede: www.instagram.com/zuhdae?igsh=... Seeds Worth Sowing: www.instagram.com/zuhdae?igsh=...

How will you be using the No Kings protest to actually build community, and make sure your activism moves BEYOND a single day? Sound off in the comments. A guide on the type of work that EVERYONE needs to be doing AFTER the protest ends: peoplespowerplaybook.my.canva.site

Yes to all of this

Kat Abughazaleh: "Democrats are still operating as if the only levers of power are legislation and votes and conversations behind closed doors. We need to talk seriously about general strikes about breaking quorum about exploiting parliamentary procedure."

@wanderslut.bsky.social - credit for the video Say it once, and we’ll say it again. Get involved in your local chapters. If a local chapter does not exist, start one. Get involved in local mutual aid. Get involved in multiple groups. We hear at General Strike support it when people are in 👇

multiple groups, as it helps bring groups together, and builds bridges. The United States is not a democracy at this point. We have seen the executive branch operate without the legislative branch; we have seen them defy court orders. We are underreacting.

We killed 85 schoolgirls. We are not the good guys.

We posted this a while ago, but it’s a breakdown of how general strike works, and hopefully will answer people’s questions. It can get more concise than this. You have the information. The rest is up to you. bsky.app/profile/gene...

There. Are. A. Million. And. One. Reasons. To. Strike. This is one of them. We were never fans of Trump, but he did say “no new wars” (we didn’t believe him, but obviously someone did) and clearly, it’s always been about war, power & dominance. Congress is silent, so it has to be on us.

True story: Multiple people run this account, but the person typing this out, my moms insurance company denied her blood pressure meds, so her doctor has to go to the insurance company to argue why it’s necessary. The healthcare system in the U.S. is killing us slow. Striking saves lives.
