An Open Letter in Support of
The General Strike
✊🏽💰🌏🏄🏼♀️🌈
We, the undersigned organizations, represent millions of people across the United States united in the fights for racial justice, economic justice, climate justice, gender justice, and LGBTQ+ liberation. Our memberships span every generation, race, gender, and geography—but one thing is clear: the systems we are fighting are not separate. They are one.
The root cause is capitalism.
We are living under a corporate oligarchy that has rigged our economy and our democracy to serve the ultra-wealthy, while working people, poor communities, and the planet are pushed toward collapse. From the violent deportations of American immigrants, to the stripping of trans rights, from voter suppression to climate catastrophe, from union-busting to mass incarceration—these are not isolated crises. They are symptoms of a system that puts profit over people, control over freedom, and fascism over democracy.
We believe that the only way to confront this system is together. And the most powerful tool we have is the withdrawal of our labor.
That is why we declare our public support for a General Strike.
We believe it is time for a mass mobilization of working-class people across this country—not only to demand better wages and safer workplaces, but to build a new system rooted in justice, care, and collective power. A general strike is how we say: you cannot run this country without us.
We know that organizing a general strike is not simple. It will require courage, coordination, and strategy. It will require education and risk. But history shows us that no liberation has ever been granted without mass resistance. Now is our time to rise.
We call on labor unions, grassroots movements, student groups, tenant associations, and every person who believes a better world is possible to join us.
Let us build together. Let us strike together. Let us rise together for the world we all deserve.
