A National General Strike for Friday, February 17th** is in the preliminary planning stages. It's a protest concerning a diverse range of issues, health care, immigration*, women's rights, human rights, and more.
On the day of the strike, we will not got to work (unless absolutely necessary). We will not go to school (unless necessary). We will not spend any money (unless necessary).
Here is how it could pertain to us on a local level (from their website):
Some communities are planning a day of service. Instead of work, strikers will dedicate their time to serving neighbors in need. Find your people. Make your plan. Spread the word…
What are your ideas for Puna? There's plenty of work to be done, and many people here who need assistance. Since the issues involved in this topic are numerous and it's a national event, let's try and keep the discussion focused on what we can attempt to accomplish here in Puna, & elsewhere in Hawaii.
