TODAY: Thousands walk out to Strike for Black Lives

Today, we’re showing the power of withholding our labor to demand that our employers put an end to racism, white supremacy, and economic exploitation in our workplaces.

Thousands of people with thousands of different experiences, hopes, and dreams are all rightfully angry about the lack of protection we face at work during a global pandemic. All of us are tired of being ignored and exploited by racist corporations. All of us are sick of CEO’s enjoying their profits at home while we’re killed in the streets.

And today, we’re joining together to MAKE. SOME. NOISE.

Here’s what we have planned.

Protests:
There are protests and car caravans happening in Chicago, Denver, Detroit, Durham, Hartford, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Memphis, Miami, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, New York City, Oakland, Orlando, Sacramento, San Francisco, Seattle, St. Louis, Toledo, and more. See what’s happening in your city.

Social Media Storm:
We’ll be posting the best stories, updates, and photos from the strikes and protests on social media. You can follow along on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to be part of it all. Share, like, comment, and RT to amplify our message and share your own story, art, or in-home action!
