On Friday, February 17, 2017, Strike4Democracy will coordinate over 100 strike actions across the United States, and beyond, to plan for a series of mass strikes to stand up for America’s democratic principles. As the nation suffers through ICE raids, travel bans, Trump’s mobilization on the border wall, as well as attacks on the rights of workers, women, people of color, the LGBTQ+ community, and our environment, February 17th provides a beacon to those who are searching for a way to protect and defend our shared humanity. People across the country have begun to realize that we must diversify tactics, as protests and marches are only the first step. Strike4Democracy amplifies a new chapter of nonviolent resistance ushered in over the last six weeks.

Did they forget anybody?

At least one D.C. charter school, LAMB Public Charter School, will be closed Thursday because staff members and students will be protesting.

I'm a bit surprised that a public charter school can close for something like this, even if it is Latin American Montessori Bilingual school.

Maybe I don't understand how Public Charters operate, but I thought they were funded by taxpayers like public schools with a separate board from the public school system. Seems a bit odd.

So tomorrow is "A Day without and Immigrant" as a protest to DJT and his immigration policies.

I'm curious to see how this play out across the country, especially when Friday is a Strike for Democracy day. Add in the Monday Federal Holiday and I see a 4 or 5 day weekend in some people's future.

There's gonna be a lot of terminations on Friday and a lot of work for the labor lawyers on Monday!!!

USA! USA! USA!

Will Panera be open if there are no workers? Existential question of the day.
