In solidarity with Minneapolis, I am not working or shopping today.

#january23generalstrike

"The Socialist Equality Party calls for the widest possible mobilization of workers and young people on January 23. The preparations to invoke the Insurrection Act and send active-duty soldiers into a major American city represent a historic escalation of the drive toward dictatorship. They must be answered through the mass, independent action of the working class and the development of a genuine general strike movement, in Minneapolis and throughout the country."

"This means the immediate formation of rank-and-file committees in every workplace, school and neighborhood. Emergency meetings should be called at every site—union and non-union—to elect representatives and begin planning a unified response. These committees must demand and prepare for open-ended strike action, organized across sectors and regions. Their demands should include: the withdrawal of all federal forces; the arrest and prosecution of Renee Nicole Good’s killer; the abolition of ICE, CBP and DHS and the release of all detainees."
