we will be strike ready
TAKE THE FIRST STEP
Community Strike Readiness Training
We cover the basics of how strikes work, the roles communities play beyond the workplace, safety and care planning, and how to coordinate support that can be sustained over time. Participants leave clearer about what it actually takes to move from solidarity in words to solidarity in action.
We all have immense power: we can grind the economy to a halt. And we can use that power to demand a world that works for us, not one that only benefits billionaires and a corrupt regime.
WHY STRIKE
Strikes work. Again and again and again we have seen people rise up against authoritarian regimes, standing shoulder to shoulder with their neighbors - and winning. Repression depends on lies and division and silence. When we stand together, unified, we can demand the world we need.
WHAT HAPPENED IN MINNESOTA?
One in four Minnesotans took action in a unified, statewide pause in daily economic activity January 23rd. Over 1,000 businesses closed, tens of thousands of Minnesotans took to the streets and the airport, all in unified, non-violent action. This is what we need to see nationwide. And now we know it can happen here.
what we’re building
No matter who you are or where you are, there’s a role for you. Learn more about the power of strikes.
OUR PLAN
Talk to everyone: your friends, your family, and coworkers about why strikes build our power.
Join a Training: learn more & get plugged in.
Build & Maintain: Don’t stop building the power you need to support your community and your coworkers in a strike.
Be Ready: We’re currently building toward May 1st, A Day Without Workers as a test of our power - but we may need to call a strike sooner.
Act: When we need to strike, we strike.
