Strikes & Economic Blackouts
MAY DAY STRONG - MAY 1st
NATIONWIDE STRIKE AND ECONOMIC BLACKOUT
If the PEOPLE are to claim their political power it will require withholding our money and our labor!
Why May 1? Because it's International Labour Day
IT'S TIME TO TAX THE BILLIONAIRE-CLASS!
It is time for us to follow the path of the workers that fought before us. Today we are witnessing wealth disparity on an unprecedented scale. Billionaires have united in order to maintain their oppression over workers (think union busting, low wages, reduced benefits), but even more alarmingly, they have taken full control of our economy, and are now actively working to take over political control of the entire world! And they have already taken the first, and most destructive step, they have bought and now control the United States of America!
On MAY DAY We Make Our Stand!
No Work or School:
We know this is a hard ask, but the only way for Americans to take back our democracy is to withhold our labor and our dollars. On May Day, you should ask your employer for the day off WITH PAY, so that you can participate in the fight to restore our democracy. We also must demand that every business and company not only support our movement, but that they participate! If the US, and in fact the entire world, don't change course, the outcome is our very destruction!
Want us to contact your employer to pressure them to participate in the fight for democracy? Submit a request here: Get My Employer On Board!
If your employer will not give you the day off with pay, we beseech you to use vacation or sick time so you can participate in May Day activities. And stay-tuned as we build a network of Democracy Aligned Businesses, where like-minded employers and workers come together for better a future for all of us!
Major Economic Blackout:
On May Day we don't spend any of our hard-earned dollars on big business! Stay out of the malls and the corporate chains. Do NOT buy gas! And if you have not already done so - CANCEL AMAZON, permanently!!
This is just the beginning. Stay tuned as we create and deliver guidance on how you can shop for democracy!, where the dollars we spend are used to lift up people and planet, and not for the collapse of our society.
Infuse Dollars Into SMALL Local Business:
May Day is a great day to spend paper dollars at small, independently owned businesses! Take the kids for ice cream, pick up that pretty scarf at the Main St. Boutique, chow down at the Mom & Pop restaurant on the corner, but put the credit card away, and stay out of any corporate business!
