We don't need to build up stock piles of goods and capital to weather a general strike. We can use local organizing capacity and labor power to build people powered and owned systems that meet our basic needs. When we do that we will be able to strike indefinitely. #GeneralStrike

Thousands of events, millions of participants, diversity of tactics. #MayDay did not deliver a republic for the working class or roll back authoritarianism, but a one day strike was never going to do that. This stress test was incredibly valuable. #GeneralStrike wagingnonviolence.org/2026/05/may-...

We are ruled by billionaires. Their power comes from their money and their money comes from our labor. When we withdraw our labor we break their power. youtu.be/kWsByO_famc

Yesterday workers shut down the New York Stock Exchange by blocking the entrances. Workers closed schools. Workers shut down hotels hosting ICE agents. Workers held sit-ins at Home Depot for their collaboration. Millions of us rose up and this was just a fraction of our power.

MASSIVE turn out in Raleigh, North Carolina for #MayDay! Across the country, we are standing up to demand a country that puts workers over billionaires. ❌👑

You ain't gonna see stuff like this promoted by media that's owned by the corps who we're striking against.

IDK, yo. I'd say CWA, AFL-CIO, NCAE, IBEW, etc. are some major unions. This is a stress test. We use today to find to points where we need to put more resources and work in to build even stronger for the next round. If you want a bigger general strike for the next round then get involved organizing.

We just have to keep organizing so we can work towards a longer general strike and push for electoral candidates that are on our side and help push policies that grow the movement further.

Every single right you have at all, was written in blood. We throw it away so careless. Perennial, we forget the cost and allow ego and hubris to lead to slaughter. They are going to murder BILLIONS. WE MUST GENERAL STRIKE!!

May 1, 2006, I joined a million people in Los Angeles to protest HR4437, a bill criminalizing undocumented immigrants. Today, I will again be out on the streets calling for a general strike. Immigrants make LA, including this immigrant who is running for L.A. City Attorney. La lucha sigue. ✊

May 1st general strike

That's why we have been working our assess off to set up #MutualAid and strike funds well in advance of this strike. We have all the resources we need to support each other through this. IF YOU are not on strike today because you didn't feel safe or supported: GET IN TOUCH, WE WILL HELP YOU!

Good morning fellow workers. Remember, we are unstoppable. Another world is possible.

Let’s talk about general strikes, baby!!!

Tomorrow we wake up to a world that we, the working class, make. We can make it a world in which we thrive. We must organize our selves to make it so. #MayDay #GeneralStrike

Tomorrow. SHUT IT DOWN! maydaystrong.org #MayDay #GeneralStrike "Workers Over Billionaires" by Leah Jo Camine

SCOTUS ending the VRA and ushering in Jim Crow seems like a pretty good reason to launch a #GeneralStrike.

Exactly. Local businesses can and SHOULD plan for a #MayDay Strike and JOIN us. The Billionaires are out to replace you most of all, struggling small business owner! (p.s. #MedicareforAll means no more budgeting extra for employee health premiums)

The #1 push back from them has been "but people can't afford to be out of work" and the #2 is "but we don't want to hurt 'local business'. Re 1: That is for workers to decide, not you. Re 2: Workers at local businesses also deserve unions. On May 2nd patronize businesses that close in solidarity.

Great meeting tonight w/ GSUS organizers from three WNC counties. Good brain storming and planning for recruiting and mobilizing for the #MayDay #GeneralStrike

#MayDay we shut it down. We have the lowest union density in the nation and a lot of work to do. Thousands of us in NC/SC have signed the strike card. Talk to co-workers about joining the #GeneralStrike. They do not expect us. maydaystrong.org

Good people of the Carolinas, sign up for the Mad Day #GeneralStrike: maydaystrong.org Rally your local affinity group, make a plan to canvass businesses and workers, talk to people about shutting it down on May Day!

One month from today: No Work, No School, No Shopping! #GeneralStrike The oligarch's power comes from their money and their money comes from our labor. When we stop working their power crumbles. www.peoplesworld.org/article/next...

We never get tired of hearing that the only thing that will actually work: 1) definitely won't work, 2) can't be done, and 3) definitely shouldn't be tried. MN already showed us that it CAN be done and DOES work. #GeneralStrike

We have a month to prepare: www.commondreams.org/news/no-king... This will be a valuable stress test and organizing opportunity. #GeneralStrike

Have you talked to your coworkers about organizing a union today? Who can you meet after work tomorrow to talk organizing?

Do you want a #GeneralStrike? 1. Meet IRL. 2. ID businesses workers need to control to sustain a general strike. 3. Pick a target, organize with those workers. 4. Use wins to pressure the next target. 5. Repeat 2/3/4 until workers have the balance of power. It's hard, but not complicated.

New It Could Happen Here Mia discusses the history of general strikes starting with another strike over armed occupiers killing unarmed protesters: the Shanghai general strike of 1925. www.iheart.com/podcast/105-...

Where political processes have failed worker power can win. When the oligarchs start losing money from workers striking their autocratic regime will collapse like a house of cards. Stop participating your own oppression, sign the strike card at GeneralStrikeUS.com and build mutual aid systems now.

True story: Multiple people run this account, but the person typing this out, my moms insurance company denied her blood pressure meds, so her doctor has to go to the insurance company to argue why it’s necessary. The healthcare system in the U.S. is killing us slow. Striking saves lives.

This is obvious retaliation. That it's probably illegal is kinda irrelevant. What's relevant is what the union has the solidarity to do about it.

Using the #GeneralStrike we can accomplish so much more than just pushing ICE into retreat. Sign the strike card at GeneralStrikeUS.com and get organizing with your local chapter. All power to the people. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Repeal the Taft-Hartley Act. Legalize general strikes! #generalstrike #politics #repealtafthartley
