Begin with a standing day? Tuesdays:
- Shop STRICTLY local. Take it seriously.
Enough people participate? You’ve created a marketplace. MORE cottage vendors. More variety.
NOW you’re self-sustained. Build on that. And birth a whole new micro-economic system.
And Fuck The Man.
That is the way.

I see comments here about inconvenience! Well, losing your freedoms won't be an inconvenience? You organize for a 2 day strike, and do what the cops do and call in sick! It's called the blue flu! Most companies allow 2 sick days without an excuse! If you could get all dems on board,it might work!

As has been said, Saturday is doable, AND it would be more impactful, more frequently, on a weekday. Overall it would be great if ppl just stopped buying from corps & support small biz - no more Amazon, Target, Walmart, Starbucks, fast food chains. 1 day no shop isn’t doing it
-
This needs to go longer than 1 day, or it will not be effective. Economics 101, 12 days will force change.
-
I like it!
-
So who is sponsoring and organizing this strike? Shit like this takes planning... because people do plan..

Problem is that half the country voted Republican and they won’t support this.
-
I can buy nothing easily (most days actually since I am paycheck to paycheck) and not use the internet. I am working hard to NOT contribute to capitalism except on the smallest local level as I can. Work stoppage is whole different level of organizing.
-
Naw, dawg, this is not how a general strike should go. It will fail to move the needle and Trump regime will say "Look, they failed. We won" Much more planning and organizing for an effective GS. This is not it. I am all for GS but a poorly run plan can backfire.
-
I support this. Anyone who follows through with this will be easily identifiable as one to not employ.

-
Thanks for this. The long haul for me as part of resistance going forward is to only buy necessities. And boycott where necessary.
-
-
August 9th lol I do that almost everyday 😅
-
No internet? So no logging onto Bluesky?
-
If only WTP can get this organized to make this national strike happen.
-
You guys gotta stop planning these things like a week out
-
It's about time.
-
Yes, yes. I quit this country. Let them shove it. $7. 89 for a bag of Doritos, ha, no. Let's get healthy so we don't need their dumb medical either. I'm in.
-
Let's Go 👏✊🔥🐦🔥
-
STOP PAYING FOR TERRORIST ORGANIZED CRIME. Your taxdollars are paying for everything that is happening to the country.
I don’t think one Saturday will do anything except encourage them to speed up project 25. People will have to commit to an ongoing strike.
-
I'm All In!
-
-
This will be easy-peasy for me since I HAVE NO MONEY!!
-
First I heard about this. I thought I had my ear to the rail…
-
Um. Aug 9 - that's a Saturday. Most folks work M-F. Most businesses operate M-F. Malls and restaurants do lots of biz on Saturdays. I'm confused.
-
Organize for a big one that'll really shut shit down here generalstrikeus.com
The General Strike
The General strike -the people united shall never be stopped. If we strike together we can make true real change. Sign the strike card today.
-
I am a single woman farmer. I need people to come to the farmers market on Saturday and buy my products or I don't stay in business. I can see striking against big corporations, but small business owners who often are resisters, need to survive!
-
Ummmm no. I'm not going to be part of fucking the country more.
-
So what if I work for the state gov, in a blue state, that has pushed back against orange leader and ice? Ngl, I do, and I'm proud of my state.
-
All easy marks to hit with my hubs out of a job in
-
I've been wanting to do this since bush was in office. Show them who really has the power!!!!!! Take their precious money just do it!!!!
-
… surely I don’t need to point out how entitled of a request that is…
-
I'm in!
-
I'm in 💪
-
I'll be participating. I've made plans to take my family out for a picnic with food from our pantry and go to the free splash pad. Even bought myself a new book on a garage sale for the day, and will fill my gas tank two days prior. :)
-
Stay at home lock your doors,! ❣️💪
-
Awesome!
-
My wife and I will do our best to help
-
Great idea. Just a couple of suggestions.
- You need more than three days to organize something of this magnitude.
- From a labor stoppage perspective, I think it will have a greater effect on a weekday.
-
Well, unfortunately, I charge my EV on Saturdays. But I do go at 5am because its a lot cheaper.
-
I said this in 🇨🇦 20 yrs ago & got blacklisted from my career, harassed out of any job I got after that, stalked, vandalized & smeared by dirty nazi cops who happen to be all in 1 church who did this for CENTURIES of hell on earth & of course, in 19 papist European countries under Hitler for $$$ duh
-
This ain’t going to work unless it’s organized.
-
💙🇺🇸🌊🙋🏻🏳️🌈💯👍💙
-
Thank you, thank you for your relentlessly highlighting the travesty of the Trumpian nightmare that could very well destroy this country and SO MUCH MORE‼️
-
On a Saturday? A serious call to action would be Tuesday-Thursday.
-
Probably a good idea to turn off tv too.
-
.
-
Stand up for your Country!
-
One day is a start, but the strike needs to occur more than once.
-
Pass it on.
-
They’re breaking us in for the big National Strike. Baby steps.
-
Once again the Hubby and I will be traveling. This time to Japan for two weeks to help out his mom and sister while his dad undergoes chemo.
-
Yes!
-
-
This would have more impact on a weekday.
-
That's what's required!
-
I'll bet most people won't make it a few hours let alone an entire 24 hours. That mindset is what business is counting on...
