Even though I think a non critical mass of people will show up and participate in these events this should be used as an opportunity to start organizing now and building support/aid/action networks. Tell people about it and plant the seeds of resistance. At the least you’ll figure out who’s you can rely on and who’s going to roll over.

We also can’t give up early when/if these actions don’t yield the results we want either. Things are going to get VERY bad before they get better. We have to be more persistent than the fascists.

That would be great if a significant number of people did it. Unfortunately, I doubt enough will. I would help if I was an American, instead I can just wish you luck. You need it. (Not that the rest of the world isn't affected too, of course)

Siiiiiigh strikes don't get organized overnight, they take quite a lot of planning and logistics to pull it off successfully. People still need to eat and sleep and survive even while on a strike. Posting a canva flyer with dates on lemmy doesn't tell us how the hell any kind of logistics or support is going to come to the people on strike.

These never work. The US isn't a high-school you can just pass literature around

Monster hunter wilds drops the same day as 2. Coincidence?

I can easily do the 2nd and 3rd one, but no way I could handle the first one.

"Global"

Few people will show up. Things are still abstract and few people are directly affected by four weeks of the authoritarian ramp up. But give it time.

What about those of us who have to work to put food on the table? Attending a protest or rally is one thing, but participating in a general strike is something else entirely.

source ?

I can definitely do this. Works perfectly for my schedule

28th is a Friday and the 15th is a Saturday, I doubt the impact on those days, but we'll see!
