The General Strike of May Day 2006

https://crimethinc.com/MayDay2006

In 2006, students around the United States engaged in spontaneous walkouts protesting the repression of the undocumented, culminating on May Day in the first general strike to take place in the US in the 21st century.

Today, as people are once again taking to the streets to resist repressive immigration policies, it is a good time to revisit this earlier high point of resistance.

"The port of Los Angeles, one of the country’s largest, was 90% inactive thanks to the overwhelming majority of truckers refusing to haul goods. A small but rowdy portion of the more than one million people who marched for immigrant rights in Los Angeles concluded the day in running battles with the police, throwing rocks and bottles, dragging debris into the streets, and vandalizing outdoor advertisements. California’s state legislature was forced to close when janitors, cafeteria workers, and maintenance people did not show up to work at the capitol building."

People have begun demonstrating at Tesla outlets against the agenda of Elon Musk and other tech billionaires who are seeking to consolidate power under Donald Trump.

Some have held signs and chanted outside dealerships. Some have created disruptions inside.

A Tesla dealership in Loveland, Colorado has been vandalized three times in the past three months, with red spray paint across the windshields and broken glass in the lot.

Last year, in Germany, some anarchists blocked the expansion of the Tesla Gigafactory by occupying the adjacent forest; other anarchists used direct action to shut down power supply to the factory.

Musk and his cronies are concentrating power in their hands through the market as well as through the apparatus of the state. In both of those contexts, the cards are stacked against us. They hope we will remain passive as they exploit us and profit at our expense.

But it is a mistake to be passive.

In Los Angeles, students have engaged in weeks of walkouts and other protests against the mass deportations Trump has promised. This points the way to future resistance against every aspect of Trump's agenda.
