Yup. Nation is too big with not enough inter-union cooperation. There's also some laws in place, IIRC, specifically countering Unions striking and such when they aren't directly affected, but I could be wrong on that.

Things necessary for a general strike. 1: We need to not fear becoming homeless. 2: We need to not fear about starving. 3: We need to not fear our children starving. Build the infrastructure of sustainable food producing housing, and you remove over 20k per year per person from the GDP. Build enough infrastructure to sustain a general strike, and you bankrupt capitalism... not just some elites... but the entire system collapses. Without constant growth in GDP, capitalism stalls, even at 3% growth we enter a recession. With negative GDP, we enter a depression. With sustained negative GDP, capitalism literally dies.
10:22 PM
1% of the population going to sustainable housing would drop GDP by 2%... and likely negate the current growth. 10% would decrease GDP by 20% and collapse the entire system. Every stock on the market would drop to nearly zero. Every margin call would come due, every billionaire would suddenly be a pauper.

It's not that the answer is no. It's that the things we need to make a General Strike possible, are the things we need anyway to destroy corpo-fascism. We should be doing them regardless of whether a General Strike is needed or not.

The New Orleans general strike was a general strike in the U.S. city of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, that began on November 8, 1892. Despite appeals to racial hatred, black and white workers remained united. The general strike ended on November 12, with unions gaining most of their original demands.

I'm way up in the mountains, up here we have some pretty good resources for food and clothing thanks to libs and churches, no need to reinvent the wheel up here for that. But what we are in desperate need of up here is collective residence projects... literally 75% of the workforce cannot afford even a one bedroom slum apartment and no one is taking it seriously. I'm knocking around the idea with locals of creating a resident workforce union to organize both the labor and the small business owners into forcing the politicians to do something about it. Also talking with the pres of the chamber of commerce about an affordable housing project. (edited)

Hey, here's some tips I gave to a friend who was planning to start up a mutual aid distro. Figured I should share them with y'all.
11:43 PM
There's two types of distros you can do; stationary or mobile. Mobile distros can be useful to get to a multitude of people over vast areas, but they have the drawback that you can't really give folks a heads up of where to go for food/supplies. For stationary distros, I recommend finding a church, nonprofit, or chill business and asking if they're cool with you having distro there on a set schedule. While having them on public property works fine for most folks, the police will have a harder time giving you bullshit if you're on private property with permission. It's always a good idea to print out fliers that explain what you do/what a distro is, where it is, and what date/time it's at. You can give them out at the distro itself but they're also useful to have on you for various occasions, including if you don't have any food/funds to provide an unhoused person but you'd like to give them something remotely helpful. It can also be a good idea to include on your fliers that you accept donations at the distros themselves so that you can give them to libs for donations. Don't just give them to unhoused folks, give them to libs and normies and shit. Let them know they can come to get food/supplies or that they can donate all the excess clothes/shoes in their closets. Let them know how and why this is a better option than bringing them to Goodwill/Arc (in example, my local Goodwill refused to give an unhoused person a lowly dry shirt, that they were given for free, in the freezing rain). Making socials is a great idea. It helps gain volunteers to post photos of each distro. Scrub the metadata and blur faces. Try not to include any non-consenting people in the photos. Libs need everything heavily explained to them because they're the equivalent of social phytoplankton. Showing them pictures of a distro helps them envision themselves being a part of it more than just describing it. (More...)

Consider food allergies and try to have vegan options if you can. If you can find a good food bank, send several people to load up on anything they can. You may also be able to locate thrift stores that are willing to provide you with a bag of clothes a week or so if they receive more donations than they can sell (Arc and Goodwill will never care though). If funds/fundraising allows, it can be helpful to centralize your supplies in a storage unit and share access info with distro members. Keep temperate sensitive items in mind when determining what to keep there. It's always wise to split up such items between people so that if person A can't make it one week, person B might be able to bring whatever supplies person A can't. Think ahead with the seasons and with weather. Mylar blankets and jackets in winter, dry socks in the rain, bug spray and mini fans in the summer. Bear in mind that you can always attend local events and request free shit from the vendors...in example, we have an annual food festival in my town and, thanks to capitalism, every major bank or whatever sets up a table under a tent and gives out pens, hand sanitizer, water bottles, etc. Ask these assholes for stuff to give to the homeless and a lot of the time they'll feel guilty enough to contribute. College campuses also tend to have these types of stupid vendors. Try to keep bags on hand, plenty of them, even if they're just paper or plastic. Unhoused peeps need them for everything, not just to take distro items with them. Ask the unhoused folks what items they need and try to obtain them. Some mutual aid groups will even make Amazon wishlists for these items and share them on social media. This helps libs feel more like "part of the solution" then if they donate money. Financial donations can be tricky since you can get fucked for not paying taxes on them after a certain amount. Try to take items instead since folks are less likely to notice that conflict. (More...)
💯 1
11:43 PM
If possible, it can be nice to periodically set up "stations" for random services...like one day we had a friend bring a table with nail polish and do people's nails for them. Try to get as many folding tables as possible, they are THE backbone of distros. Tables are comrades. Always have water on you. Consider secondary places to head to or maybe do a drive-around to give out whatever food doesn't get consumed at the distro. It also helps to have one or more people do a "walk around" at distros by hoofing it a mile or so around places where you know unhoused peeps to be so that you can tell them that they can get food if they follow you back. If you can find a harm reduction center, see if you can get Narcan and test strips. Give them out like candy. A lot of harm reduction places also get other supplies like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, etc. Since activists tend to work there, they'll often be happy to give you supplies since you can be an extension to their work...they can't give shit out in the parks, you can. Look for local nonprofit groups that specialize in acquiring supplies to give to local mutual aid groups. These do exist, they literally turn their funding into peanut butter, Narcan, and toothpaste just to give to groups who do what you do. If you're gonna be doing any protests, try to loop your speeches back to mutual aid and then plug your group. Let them know that revolution is dependent upon people being fed and clothed. Tell them that mutual aid is what powers strikes and long term protests. And try to be there for these kinds of things, not just to empower what they're doing but also to spread word about mutual aid. Strikers/protesters don't have to leave to get food if you bring it to them.

I fucking hate doing this... I was laid off last month and have spent the last six weeks looking for more work with no luck. We spent all of our savings to keep our RV spot in August. My wife and I are going to lose our RV spot on the first if we don't come up with 1200 dollars. I'm working on getting my VA disability benefits but it's been super fucking slow. Please reach out to whomever you can and see if we can get some help! Cashapp and venmo are both UnbrokenCircle just with their different prefixes.

Reach out to the VA for help as well. Also I tell everyone this, UPS will hire everyone so it doesn't hurt to apply. Starting pay is $21/hr now

Rural area... VA stuff is in the works but it'll take weeks to get through the process.

I go through the VA website to access stuff, not the actual VA. They have a lot of info on programs you can get help from

What's your deadline? We have a donation matching program started between joe hill's revenge/Ian H. and I. I'll match up to $100 if I can. I can try to get 12 people for that. Are you okay with falling short of the amount? I try asking people once you confirm that you're still in need of the money and we haven't missed the deadline. And sorry, I just saw this. (edited)

I do still need 250, already had some solid comrades and friends come through with the rest, the deadline for the rent was the first, but I got the park manager to extend till the 15th for the deposit for winter. We got 950 already of the 1200 we need. (edited)

Okay, looks like Spinner only needs $250 more. I'm up for $100, but I'll see if I can get it split into five or more.

No one should judge anyone else for how much they donate. It means a a lot no matter how much. Don't do it if it's like "Oh I got 50 bucks left" or something like that.

@Spinner Would you be able to download the Wise app so horhay can contribute (calculated to $44) from Canada? Neither Cash App nor Venmo are available in Canada but Wise is international and available in the US. Otherwise, I could maybe cover for him too and receive his contribution later.

It requires I add money to my account to set a payout account and I don't see any way of changing my display name from my legal one... probably why Canada doesn't allow Cashapp or Venmo

hmm, that sucks. Yeah, I like CashApp for being somewhat anonymous. In the worst case scenario, I'll just cover for those who don't have the right app so that we meet the total $250 and then get their contributions later once we get secure apps.

@Spinner I've asked people to see if they can contribute this weekend. Sunday night, if you give me the remainder of the $250 you need, I'll contribute the full amount so that you've got the money comfortably ahead of the deadline.

Hey fam, if anyone can help out with our storage unit bill for our mutual aid group, that would be great (any amount). Please be sure to prioritize any mutual aid requests for food or other needs over this one! We use the storage unit for our clothing and other supplies we give out at distro, and we also trade our excess clothing to Denver mutual aid groups in exchange for their excess food. Total amount is $100. Venmo is @AmandaHofer1 🖤🖤🖤

I’m sadly in a really tight position for the next couple of weeks, I won’t be able to pitch in to help out. Work is slashing my hours, and pay is shit as a result.
10:56 PM
Not in any sort of emergency, but I just won’t be able to contribute sadly
