Hi folks. Iraqi-Iranian-American here. This colonial government utterly destroyed one of my family's homelands for profit and is currently picking a war on the other. I can't really stomach all the patriotic celebrating tonight. Anyone have an anti 4th of July thing I can join? Located in LA.
Reminder: International Workers' Day is this Friday!
👉🏻 Shut it all down: No work, no school, no shopping!
👉🏼 Instead, actions that raise pressure towards coalition demands: no ICE, no war, workers over billionaires
Find an organization that may be leading collective action near you at www.allofusdirectory.org or find a protest at www.maydaystrong.org
🤔 On the fence about taking the day off work?:
👉🏿 If it would not cost you your job, but would create noticeable inconvenience or discomfort for your workplace, you are ideally positioned to make an impact by skipping.
👉🏽 The more workplaces, schools and stores are empty, the more the country is forced to notice that an unprecedented bloc is upset enough with the status quo to stand up to challenge it.
😯 **Are we having a general strike?**
In the USA, we're not quite there, but record-breaking May Day participation is a key step towards being able to pull it off.
