Date announced for national strike aimed at crippling Trump: 'No work, no school'

Ezra Levin, co-founder of Indivisible, said on Saturday that a nationwide general strike is being planned for May 1 that will be modeled on the day of action residents of Minnesota organized in January against the brutality carried out by federal immigration enforcement officials.

Appearing at the flagship No Kings rally in Minneapolis, Levin praised the strength shown by the Minnesota protesters in the face of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) siege of their city this year, and said his organization wanted to replicate it across the country.

“The next major national action of this movement is not just going to be another protest,” Levin said. “It is a tactical escalation... It is an economic show of force, inspired by Minnesota’s own day of truth and action.”

Levin then outlined what the event would entail. “On May 1, on May Day, we are saying, ‘No business as usual,’” he said. “No work, no school, no shopping. We’re going to show up and say we’re putting workers over billionaires and kings.”

... for those supporting the billionaires to figure out how to stop doing so on May 1st (or sooner should one be so inclined).

Cancel that Amazon membership, quit Facebook, delete the Xitter account, stop shopping at Walmart... the list goes on.

Too "inconvenient?" Money talks.

We don't seem to be willing to be 'inconvenienced'.

We don't seem to be willing to be 'slightly interrupted'.

Why would anyone cancel or quit the very social media necessary for organizing?
