A strike is more than disruption, it’s a test of clarity. It asks who we fight for, and why. Are we settling for comfort and symbolic victories, or are we demanding the full liberation that the system was built to deny?

Sick out for Palestine 12/1. If you have to work, go slow and do the bare minimum. Instead of work, spend the day in community, volunteer your time to support collective care efforts, and educate yourself about the conflict and how it connects to exploitative colonial capitalist systems.

Join us to learn how Red Aid, SICA, and simple outreach help us support our people and grow our movement together. How everyday acts like groceries, rides, diapers, check-ins, can become fuel for a movement.

Contribute what you can, according to your ability. No act is too small, and no offering is insignificant when it’s made in service of liberation. The movement is only as strong as those who rise to build it. Will you rise with us?

Drop the Indigenous name of your city, region, or state in the comments. Let’s use this time to learn, remember, and uplift the people whose relationship to this land never ended.💫

Comrade Jamil Al‑Amin built Black power and defended his community, only to be stolen by the U.S. colonial government and forced to die behind enemy walls.

The revolution continues because their spirit...elder and revolutionary, cannot be caged. We honor him with relentless action. ✊🏾

Our first official chapter event! GSUS West MI and DSA Southwest MI will be co-hosting a Union Teach In at First United Methodist Church in Kzoo at 3 pm.

Following this, the church will be hosting a concert benefiting a local food pantry that we have also been invited to.

Reach out with questions!

Can we address the actual elephant in the room? Amerikkka is a settler colonial project. The U.S. government is illegitimate, built on genocide, land theft, and slavery.
So when you get fixated on getting Trump out and nothing else, it shows me your politics begin and end with your personal comfort.

We get push back against a general strike from folks worried that it will hurt small local businesses. Here's the thing, Fascist abuses of our communities are going to hurt small business a LOT more than a few days (or weeks or event months) of a general strike.

Avoid travel and restaurants and cancel streaming and digital subscriptions, organizers said. "If you must spend: support small, local businesses only. Pay in cash." Small Business Saturday on Nov. 30 is exempted from the blackout.

Cancel Black Friday? 'Mass Blackout' doesn't want you to shop or work to protest Trump
'Mass Blackout' is the latest in a series of holiday shopping boycotts to protest the Trump administration, DEI rollbacks and economic inequality.

What we’re fighting is not just corruption or bad leadership. It’s a system that was never designed for liberation. A system that can’t be fixed with a new president, because its foundation is domination of land, labor, and life itself.

Our work is to build beyond it.
