Activists Plan Mass Women's Strike To Coincide With Inauguration
"Women nationwide are going online and pledging to strike so the organizers will know how large the strike is and writing about their reasons. A North Carolina striker said she is joining the effort because "my boss is a Trump supporter who feels the need to talk to me like trash." Withdrawing labor that society and employers depend on is a time-honored tactic. With a far-right, anti-feminist administration taking power, women will need to do much more of this."
You can make these articles go farther by liking them, sharing them on Facebook, tweeting them, and emailing them to friends. Help the strike grow.
