    The general strike will be May 1 between the hours of 12-230pm. Be sure to bring signs and do not inconvenience anyone/anything. This will show them who’s in charge.

      Lemmy.ml: “Waah, protests don’t do anything, wake me when there’s a general strike.”

      No Kings: “We’re doing a general strike.”

      Lemmy.ml: “Oh, fuck, shit, I didn’t… Um… WELL SCREW YOU, YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING TO DO IT WRONG ANYWAY.”

        You are not doing anything, you can’t even get something simple like a protest right

        Ml user here, I think it’s rad. Gonna radicalize the libs at my local protest with May Day history ¯_( ツ)_/¯

        Like, I think the No Kings protests, for instance, while great at getting people out, struggle to give those people direction, beyond the big protest.

        But any good Socialist, Communist, Anarchist, [insert preferred flavour of leftist] will know that you go where the masses are. And if the masses are at a big protest, then you go to the big protest to recruit, educate, and even just network with cool people and orgs.
