This is an insanely large call to action with no communal effort. Where's a forum or page or chat to communicate with locals about organizing strikes or is that all meant to be magically figured out. I also saw someone mention a lack of a "strike fund" which yeah, if this call for a FULL WEEK off of work is meant to be taken seriously then where is there a place for people to apply for funding help to deal with life expenses. 62% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, missing a single week of work could mean homelessness, car reclamation, starvation, etc life ruining shit.
If there is a strike fund it should be noted. If there is a supporting community effort it should be noted. I work for a company that had massive walk outs and strikes and even those only last for as long as they did BECAUSE they had a small, tight knit community of *coworkers* as well as the support of funds. This is a call to action for a FULL WEEK full of randos all over the country, and while I hope it does help I feel like it would do better to simply work as regular and donate to relief efforts and put in the effort to call representatives.
