Is This The "General Strike" Everyone Is Talking About?

https://www.usgeneralstrike.org/

WORK-TO-RULE

Beginning June 30th

No Purchases – Prepare In Advance



Work-to-rule

We are asking everyone to do the following:

Purchase only essentials

No big box stores like Walmart

Shop local, keep $$ in your community

No big banks

Start a coop (remember those?)

Continue through November

Democracy is on the brink of collapse. People are waiting for someone else to save our country who may never get the chance. We must show our illegitimate president & his party of Nazis that we're serious or they will never take us seriously. We are calling for a sustained peaceful strike beginning June 30th.

Everyone keeps going on about a general strike. I did not know one was actually in the works. I thought that maybe these posters who keep talking about it were referring to this one.
