The General Strike is a decentralized network of people. This means we don’t have a traditional “leader” or hierarchical structure. Instead we have an ever shifting network of organizers, all working towards the General Strike in their own way. Check out our values for more info.

Our broad list of demands includes, but is not limited to: Climate action. Universal healthcare. Racial justice. Reproductive rights. LGBTQIA+ rights. Living wage / raise the minimum wage. Immigration reform. Education reform. Gun safety. Tax the rich. Affordable housing. Disability rights. Welfare and child support reform. Voters rights. Constitutional convention. Paid family and medical leave. Criminal justice system reform. Workers’ rights. Permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

Specific demands will come from leaders and experts of existing fights for racial, economic, gender and environmental justice.

When the The General Strike has reached 6M Strike Cards, we will reach out to our partners to draft these demands. Sign your Strike Card now to get us closer to the 11M cards we need to Strike!

For our strike to have the greatest impact, we need more people on board. Here’s the plan: we will strike once we have accumulated 11M Strike Cards or 3.5% of the US population and we know we can win.

To help us get there, sign your Strike Card today… and get a few friends to sign too! Si se puede.

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! Sign your Strike Card today.

No one! A few of our partners are fundraising a strike fund, which we’ll link to when the time comes.

A few partners have committed to providing legal guidance for the strike. If you need free and confidential legal help regarding The Strike, please contact:

Historically, successful general strikes can last from one day to over a month. Recently, a general strike in Panama lasted about a month. In France, a recent general strike lasted several weeks. We are committed to sustaining the General Strike for as long as we can and as long as it takes to have our demands met.

The right to strike is protected by the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) and is considered a fundamental labor right for workers in the United States. That said, depending on the sector and industry in which someone works, various laws dictate whether a strike is legal, and when and how a strike can occur.

We believe some amount of “trouble” is necessary to fundamentally change the current system.
