[Org4j-announce] June 1st actions and links from People’s Strike

[Organizing For Justice]

Dearest organizers,

With everything going on right now, the People’s Strike coalition is
reaching out to you to communicate our solidarity  - and upcoming actions -
in achieving justice and changing the exploitative and harmful systems
within the USA and internationally.

We are a growing coalition formed around a preliminary set of demands
responding to the COVID crisis, but that encompass long-term and
multi-faceted organizing and struggle.

June 1st marks the second “First of the Month” People’s Strike! day of
actions.

This email is to make sure you know what is planned and how to participate
and support.


First off, this 90-second video from May Day captures the spirit and
purpose of this movement:
