Mass Meeting: Fight for a General Strike to Shut Down ICE

Hundreds of thousands of working and young people have courageously protested and risked arrests, faced down teargas and pepper spray, and endured other violence from ICE agents and police departments. Hundreds of thousands are correctly recognizing that we need a general strike.

Working people need to organize strike actions, including general strikes, to pose a real threat to Trump and the Republican and Democratic parties, and to shut down the profit machine of the billionaire class.

But how do workers organize a general strike and how do we win the strike’s demands to shut down ICE and defeat Trump? Most of the labor leadership has failed to lead any strike actions, much less a regional or national general strike.

Join Kshama, union members, and Workers Strike Back at this unique strategy meeting to talk about how working people and union members can fight for a general strike. We will plan for concrete next steps including union petitions and resolutions and protest actions.

Speakers:

Kshama Sawant - 10-year socialist Seattle city councilmember and revolutionary socialist congressional candidate

Nina Wurz - Northwest Carpenters Union rank-and-file activist (in personal capacity)

Jozi Uebelhoer - WFSE Local 889 rank-and-file activist (in personal capacity)
