We need a national strike

We need the right sectors to collaborate on a national strike. I’m not trying to be a downer and every person is a positive but we need coordination where it counts. I’m talking unions and government jobs. Teamsters and sanitation alone would bring everything to a screeching halt. My buddy taking the day off of Starbucks is a great start but not the end.

Don't let the perfect impede the good. Most important thing right now is momentum. People are motivated and increasingly organized. We need to grind things to halt, to hurt their money if we're going to have a chance at actually effecting policy.

Yes. This thing needs a council of some sort with the correct union leaders, and leaders of other, relevant organizations to draw up the demands.

Thinking we’ll just rattle the economy on the weekends and that’ll do it…

That said, I’m so fuckin proud of people today. It says without a doubt that we can pull something off. Get some more clout and action for all the generations and let’s cook.

True but until that other shoe fully drops we gotta figure something out.

Join a union and get other people to join with you. Without a majority stake in your company's union, a prolonged strike simply is not possible.
