On February 17, 2017 we will be staging a National General Strike. The idea is 24-hour occupation of public space in protest of the Trump administration’s refusal to Honor the Constitution of the United States of America.
A general strike is an organized work stoppage by a large number of employees across a broad spectrum of industries in an effort to advance a political or economic goal.
Our Demands:
1.) No Ban, No Wall. The Muslim ban is immoral, the wall is expensive and ineffectual. We will build bridges, not walls.
2.) Healthcare For All. Healthcare is a human right. Do not repeal the ACA. Improve it or enact Medicare for All.
3.) No Pipelines. Rescind approval for DAPL and Keystone XL and adopt meaningful policies to protect our environment. It’s the only one we’ve got.
4.) End the Global Gag Rule. We cannot put the medical care of millions of women around the globe at risk.
5.) Disclose and Divest. Show us your taxes. Sell your company. Ethics rules exist for a reason and presidents should focus on the country, not their company.
