I don’t see it discussed much in fediverse channels, and I don’t really know why. Curious to hear what people think of them. But they’re the only group pushing for a general strike that I can think of off the top of my head.
I don’t like having to share my phone number, which is why I haven’t signed up. Or that every social is the typical - discord, bluesky, youtube, instagram.
I’m all for the idea, but they give me big privacy worries.
So they have! Though you have to scroll down to see it, its not really apparent that other options are there now…
For reference:
Option 2: Mail-In Strike Card
You can now submit a Strike Card by mail and get counted without your info being entered into our database. Print out a Mail-In Strike Card here and mail it to: General Strike US (GSUS), PO Box 7, Malden-on-Hudson, NY 12453. An organizer will reach out when it’s time to strike!
I’ve included the link to their (ugh) Google Drive version of the mail-in card. Name or pseudonym and an email are required, phone number is not, so that is a good option.
Option 3: In-Person
You can also sign up below with a local organizer at community events, protests or rallies, by printing the In-Person Strike Card here and emailing your number of sign-ups to info@generalstrikeus.com to get counted towards the goal of 11 million. Learn more here.
Again, I’ve included the link to their google drive version of the in-person sheet.
Option 4: Email Only
Not ready to commit just yet? Sign up with only your email address below to receive updates and stay in the loop.
This is what I just did, I’ll deal with the mailer later on.
Same. I looked at it but as soon as it wanted all that contact info I dipped. I already get “omg! send us money to craft these strongly worded letters in opposition!” texts. I don’t want more of them nor a centralized location someone can use to find those who support the idea of a general strike.
If it happens, people will talk about it and it’ll pick up steam like domino’s falling!
Speaking of, I am a little familiar with this group https://generalstrikeus.com/

Check the site again. They’ve changed in the last few weeks to include an option with more privacy, I think.
