“Contractors”
Shouldn’t we also demand an end to businesses classifying what are practically full-time employees as private contractors?

How are we going to handle not buying anything?
I need to eat, and I do not have the resources to stock up on food for more than a week or so. In addition, many people will need items such as medicine and clothing. I know that personally, I will need to go to doctor's appointments, pay to ride the bus, and acquire my prenoscriptions, and that without these things I will most likely die. We need to consider rent, too, if this may go on for over two weeks- how will we keep people housed?
If we mean for this to last until demands are met, we need to plan for a long haul. Corporations have money to burn. If we mean to actually support workers, we need to consider the basic needs of human beings.

What will happen?
I see 3 possibilities for the strike, if there are more I miss please post them below.
1. Only some of us strike for a short period of time (whether that is a day, week or ect.) and after everything returns to normal with most pretending it didn't happen. Most likely
2. We strike, the 1% see us and they decide to give us what we want and everything is butterflies and rainbows. Least likely
3. The world turns into a shit show from the length of the strike. Money is no loner relevant. Food is rare. Clean water is the new gold. Jobs as we know them crumble at the base and are not a thing anymore. It goes from a boring dystopia to a Mad Max situation. If enough people strike long enough it is semi likely
What do you think?

Why is anonymity needed? Especially from the leadership, but wouldn't it help to know who you were striking with?
Just asking questions.
Interested in supporting the strike, but I'd like some answers to make sure the rumors I heard were just rumors.
Not trying to out anyone but definitely interested in information if it's available. Though now that I'm typing this out, I completely understand if the answer is "to make sure the FBI doesn't do anything funny".

Facebook Frame to Extend Our Reach
So, obviously Reddit is the superior platform, but I think it's important to extend our reach as far as possible. I've been planning to participate in the strike for a while now, but my husband mentioned he had heard some concerns here in the sub that the strike isn't getting enough traction, so I decided to get more directly involved. One thing I noticed was there wasn't a Facebook frame for the strike, which if we want to get normies on board, we have to bring the information to the normies, so I made a Facebook Frame. If people want to use it (or improve on it) here's the link to the frame: www.facebook.com/profilepicframes/?selected\_overlay\_id=799511640744082 Enjoy picking fights with all your boomer relatives haha.

3 Thoughts
The chance of this strike succeeding are great if we truly band together. I’ve seen the same three concerns posted all over this subreddit since the day it was created and I began lurking and I think they need to be put to rest if we expect to take this seriously.
A Long Term Plan of Action
- A one day strike simply will not work. I’m sure many of you already know this but to someone by chance seeing this will be thinking the exact same thing. October 15th should be advertised to the public as the START of a general strike rather than a one day event in the middle of October. This is the biggest misconception with the majority of the posters and flyers that I’ve seen so far. It might gain the attention of the masses or it may not. or possibly even go barely noticied and played down as a failed attempt. Most likely it will take weeks, months, even a year before progress is seen especially on a wide scale. You can’t expect everyone to call into work or walkout on October 15th and be back on Monday morning patting each other on the back saying “Well done!” “We tried!”
If you’re planning to strike you should be prepared to be in for the long haul to see real change. The entire system needs to be slowed or halted on a mass scale.
Mutual aid funds must be set up on a local level to provide for those especially in need during the strike. If you’re planning on striking and have the ability to save money now is the time to do so. Jobs will be lost from this and that should be expected. If we’re really tired and sick of the system that keeps us chained then that should not even matter. This is the chance to be the breaking point.
Lack of Union Support
- I have seen many of us complaining about the lack of union backing behind the strike. This is to be something concerned about and certainly is valid. If I have to be the one to reach out to the unions and begin contacting them and setting up correspondence I’m more than happy to. We can’t sit around waiting for someone to make the first move. The best scenario would be for anyone reading this (the more the better) finding unions and contacting them with a formal email explaining our plans and what we look to accomplish by beginning this strike. This serves two purposes. 1. It will attract more attention to the strike and movement. 2. Legitimize the strike to the public’s eyes.
“Only 4,000 members”
- To anyone new here seeing only 4,000 members will clearly be discouraged from taking wider action especially in their local communities and cities. Sure there may be many more out there who aren’t even aware of this subreddit yet still support what we are trying to accomplish and choose to partcipate in October 15th but it simply isn’t enough. If we’re serious about this need to step up to make everyone they know aware of this strike and educate them onto the goals of what is being fought for. You can’t wait around and become complacent waiting for someone else to make these moves. Everyone participating is apart of this and loses its chance of happening the more people become complacent and assuming that they are not the ones who are responsible for spreading awareness.
We are all in this together, once we have mass awareness of the strike we actually have a huge chance at actually succeeding and for this to happen we need each and everyone of us to truly try to do as much as we can. Flyers, instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Youtube, colleges, everywhere. We need people to start talking about this and as soon as possible.
EDIT: Changed noscripts of sections.
