Press Release
US General Strike
December 5, 2017
General strikes are called when citizens have no significant power over a congress or the executive no matter how powerfully they have organised themselves to affect the changes they are seeking.
A General strike promises lasting change for a better quality of life than Trump’s destructive agenda.
We are organizing a nationwide general strike and economic boycott to sanction our government. This strike is intended to be sustained until our demands are met. Our demands are as follows:
- Nullification of the 2016 election or demand the resignations of Trump, Pence and all suspected corrupt government officials
- Rapidly make minimum necessary reforms to electoral processes to ensure an improved level of fairness & integrity including but not limited to hand-counted paper ballots
- Hold a new election
- Reverse all of Trump’s legislative and executive order actions including SCOTUS appointments and appointments of unqualified senior government officials and staff
A strike action is an action that imposes sanctions on our government, much the same way that one country imposes sanctions on another to effect changes. In addition to the strike action we will impose boycotts and will limit spending that will not be lifted until our demands are met.
Defending the rules and the values on which democracy depends is a responsibility we all share. Our lives depend on it, our freedom depends on it and our children are depending on us to safeguard their future.
It is time to act by trying a different tactic to stem the bleeding from the wounds Trump and the Republican Party are inflicting on the American people and the environment.
