About this particular strike-from their website;

“This year, May Day has the potential to go down in history once again as workers across the United States and around the world prepare to launch strikes and other actions in response to severe mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic by wealthy elites who are giving their profits priority over preserving human life.”

Also from their website;

“We hear from a lot of people who are disabled, unemployed, mentally ill, or in precarious circumstances that do not allow them to participate. That’s perfectly okay!‌ The guiding principle of worker solidarity is:

From each according to their ability, to each according to their need.

Your first priority should be surviving and taking care of your own health. If you need support through these trying times, get in touch with us or a local Mutual Aid network and we will do what we can to help you out.”

Please don’t break the picket line. Doing so severely harms workers’ rights to organise and collective bargaining becomes less effective. I know it’s hard, we’re in a pandemic and can’t leave our homes, but trust me, you can wait one day for that thing. We’re all in this together, and that means we’re standing in solidarity with key workers who just want to be treated a little bit better and paid a little bit more.

The hashtags #GeneralStrike, #GeneralStrike2020, #RentStrike, #RentStrike2020, #CareStrike, and #CoronaStrike will be used if you wish to follow the Action.
