Workers Over Billionaires - General Strikes

Get ready for a series of national general strikes. The first one will be on Friday, May 1st, International Workers Day.

• It’s being led by a coalition of serious labor groups — May Day Strong, Power in Numbers, Sunrise Movement, Women's March
• There’s training leading up to it—facilitated by Strike Ready Corps and Grassroots Democracy
• Backed by larger organizations like Indivisible and The 50501 Movement this year, which means this could gather a critical mass.
• It’s part of a larger strategy. Another one on Labor Day, in prep for the likely need for mass mobilization in November.
