What can I do to participate?
What this General Strike calls for is:
*No Working
*No School
*No Shopping
*No Banking
*No Housework
But it is understood that in today's economy, you may be afraid to lose your job. There are alternatives.
The most important thing is that on May 1st, you are aware that others are out there. You are aware that you can make a difference, and that you don't have to live in this system anymore.
What are the alternatives to striking?
- Take a sick day.
- During your lunch break, attend a rally in your town and talk to people. (Information about May Day Events is on the left)
- Send an email to your governor, senator, house representative, or president and tell them of your concerns.
- Talk to your neighbor or coworker about some of the issues you face and what you would like to see changed.
- Wear a button that says May Day. Tell people about what it means.
- And of course, you can always participate in the boycott.
