On Feb 17, 2017, anti-Trump Americans are staging a one day strike to protest the actions of President Trump. You can help by boycotting US business.
Find us on Facebook @Strike4Democracy
Follow us on twitter @F17Strike
This is a grassroots movement is calling for a national general strike on Feburary 17th, 2017 in defense of our nation’s constitution. Participants pledge to be non-violent.
On the day of the strike, we will not go to work (unless absolutely necessary).
We will not go to school (unless necessary).
We will not spend any money (unless necessary).
Instead, we will show dissent with unconstitutional governance through gatherings and activities to be organized at the local/personal level. Some communities are planning a day of service. Instead of work, strikers will dedicate their time to serving neighbors in need. Find your people. Make your plan.
PLEASE HELP SPREAD THE WORD.
Demands of Strike:
- 1. No Ban, No Wall. The Muslim ban is immoral, the wall is expensive and ineffectual. We will build bridges, not walls.
- 2. Healthcare For All. Healthcare is a human right. Do not repeal the ACA. Improve it or enact Medicare for All.
- 3. No Pipelines. Rescind approval for DAPL and Keystone XL and adopt meaningful policies to protect our environment. It’s the only one we’ve got.
- 4. End the Global Gag Rule. We cannot put the medical care of millions of women around the globe at risk.
- 5. Disclose and Divest. Show us your taxes. Sell your company. Ethics rules exist for a reason and presidents should focus on the country, not their company.
