First I’m hearing about it, and I’m relatively informed in the progressive sphere. I think the problem right now is there are too many protests/strikes/events so it’s hard to keep up and they get diluted if people can’t join all of them.

IMO, the real issue is that news about these things gets suppressed by the media.

The very purpose of the strike (economic chokehold) is exactly why Pub won’t support it and will expect us to work. Despite some great BRGs and general progressive ideology of the company, it’s still a mega corporation serving mega corporations. Money rules all and that will dictate how Pub responds.

Absolutely. I plan to do precisely that. ✊🏽

First I’m hearing of this. Is this really a thing?

Asking people not to work and for small businesses to close is honestly so elitist. No one that wants to can afford to do that.

Also, don’t use or post on social media platforms. Give less eyeballs to the ads and don’t feed the machine for one day.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
