General Strikes Change Everything

 

If you can, withhold your economic activity from this odious regime on Friday, January 30.

If you can, no work, no school, no shopping.

If you need something, find alternatives - locally owned, independent businesses; co-ops; second-hand, Etsy, allies ...

If you can, use the day to contact our elected  officials. Use 5Calls.org or Indivisible if needed. (Find your elected officials here.)

If you can, withdraw from Amazon, Target, Delta, Hilton, Enterprise, Home Depot--enablers of the occupation. Or spend time researching other collaborators. Boycotts work.

If you can, start disentangling from the oligarchs' networks - FB, IG, TikTok, etc. Here's a guide.

If you can, donate to StandWithMinnesota.com or local agencies like What I Need Now, Coulee Region Immigration Task Force, or Hunger Task Force.

If you can, find and read about or watch an online training about how to document, oppose, and protest ICE.

If you can, help Ellie Leonard comb through the released Epstein file documents.

If you can, connect with neighbors to strengthen our local support systems.

If you can, organize a Visibility Brigade.

If you can, write a blog post or letter to the editor.

Whatever you can do will make a difference. The general strikes here seem small and scattered but they matter.
