28. I plan on going to a demonstration

Wed Dec 7, 2016, 09:22 PM

Dec 2016

I have work but based on the ideas I have seen passed around on the left online, I'll not be at work. I have to take the day in honor of the General Strike.

I believe that a General Strike is appropriate and called for. Unfortunately, we have no choice.
