They have nothing to do with the image but Workers Strike Back is having a conference to organize into a body that can make demands and negotiate in a general strike situation. They're getting major Union leaders to attend (Amazon, UAW, etc) so the resulting org should actually have sway. But the conference is open to anyone and they're welcoming anyone to join them.

We need to use our momentum from getting out the vote for Jill Stein's antiwar pro-worker campaign to fight the rich and their two parties.

Yeah no thanks.

I'm not jazzed about that part either. I'm trying to support this simply for the potential it has for general strike. Nothing else.

Thank you for sharing. Know that at least one person has signed up for the livestream thanks to this :)
