What is A General Strike?
A general strike is when working people refuse their labor until demands are met • Research shows We need 3.5% of the population, OR 11 million Americans, to be successFul • The STRIKE CARD below tracks our progress so we all know When it’s time to strike •
Why are we striking?
we’ve voted, we’ve protested, and STILL, they ignore us. Our government refuses to meet our basic needs while the billionaire class hoards wealth and power. We can’t afford to wait any longer. Our labor is our greatest STRENGTH and if we strike together we can make real change.

Strike Phases
Research shows that strikes engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change.
3.5% of the US population is 11M people. When we have 11M Strike Card signed, we Strike!
01 Base Organizing
0 - 3M Signed Strike Cards
This phase is all about building an interconnected groundswell of people who are committed to The General Strike. We are reaching out to organizations and influential individuals who are already taking action for racial, economic, and climate justice and plugging them into the network. We are building a decentralized infrastructure with the capacity to explode into exponential growth.
02 Coalition building & STrike Day prep
3M - 8M Signed strike Cards
With 3M signed strike cards we will have established the plan for a General Strike and expanding our coalition. Now it’ll be time to bring our demands into focus, and to map out what Strike Day(s) will really look. A series of Strike Day coalition meetings will commence to draft a list of highly specific demands to specific controlling entities, to pick a strike date(s), and to plan the events of Strike Day(s). Specific demands will come from the leaders and experts of our various existing fights for racial, economic, gender and environmental justice that have the on the ground experience in their unique areas.
03 Finalizing demands
8M - 11M Signed strike Cards
As we near our critical goal of 11M strikers we will finalize our demands and prepare for Strike Day. Accumulated strike funds and partners in mutual aid will help distribute support to all registered strikers as needed. A team of legal aids will formulate the official language for the strike. If employees choose, strike notices will be distributed to employers per their request. Now all that’s left to do is STRIKE!
