As part of the general strike planned for May Day, organizers should encourage the wearing of armbands as was done to protest the Vietnam War.

​If the goal of the movement is to engage people as broadly as possible, as well as to demonstrate power, then the armbands can offer additional options and bring the day of protests into more places.#may-day #general-strike #vietnam-war #minneapolis #protests

[…]
And the ship's wise men
Will remind you once again
That the whole wide world is watching¹
[…]
And they'll raise their hands sayin', "We'll meet all your demands"
But we'll shout from the bow, "Your days are numbered"
And like Pharaoh's tribe, they'll be drowned in the tide
And like Goliath, they'll be conquered
