I haven't seen much chatter about this, with under two weeks to go : Indivisible and other groups are planning a one-day general strike on Friday, May 1st. Yep, that's May Day, long dedicated to workers' rights. This hasn't been getting the attention that the three big No Kings demonstrations have. But if you've been wondering what to do next beyond standing in a crowd holding signs, maybe one day of economic action should be on your radar. No work - no school - no shopping #NoKings #NoBillionaires

@AnotherJen Here in Salem, #oregon we're holding a rally to mark the day, and also immigrants rights. It's great practice for boycotts in general, for voting with your dollars, and for the upcoming times when we will withdraw our economic support for longer periods. Solidarity!

@AnotherJen The imposed 'system' that includes Victorian style education methods really is long overdue big challenges. Like - 'must grow the economy' is entirely bollocks for all except the wealthy and powerful. They want us to be slaves tied to a tether to make the rich richer.

@AnotherJen With all the vast wealth sitting on offshore accounts DOING NOTHING we could rebalance so that work was really really not needed unless wanted.
