SUMMARY:Mass General Strikes: Histories, Requirements, And Possibility in Response to Trump Tyranny
DESCRIPTION:Donald Trump and his accomplices are conducting a creeping coup, which is seizing all the powers of the government and concentrating them in the personal will of the President. The consequence is armed attack abroad and armed assault against American cities. Popular opposition is growing and a powerful movement-based opposition is resisting. But what about a worst-case scenario where neither electoral nor non-electoral opposition forestalls a MAGA tyranny?\nExperience from Poland to the Philippines to South Korea to Puerto Rico has shown that “social strikes” — including mass strikes, general strikes, and nonviolent popular uprisings — can overcome tyrannical dictatorships. The Minnesota “Day of Peace and Freedom”, has shown the power of a social strike right here in the US.\nJoin us on February 16 for a webinar on the potential of social strikes to combat Trump’s authoritarian juggernaut. Learn about the history of social strike resistance to tyranny around the world; the lessons of the Minneapolis “Day of Truth and Freedom”; the role of organized labor; and how to use social strikes to establish government of the people, by the people, and for the people.\nSpeakers\nJeremy Brecher: Historian, author, and co-founder of the Labor Network for Sustainability\nColleen Rowley, Former FBI whistleblower and Minneapolis resident\nJackson Potter, Vice-president of Chicago Teachers Union and leading figure in MaydayStrong.\nOrganized by: CPDCS; Labor Network for Sustainability, MaydayStrong, Indivisible Maynard Area\n
