Tens of thousands of people across the United States are expected to skip work and attend rallies and marches Friday as part of a "general strike" to "get our democracy back."
Strike4Democracy, one of the groups organizing the nationwide event, which is called the "#F17 General Strike," said more than 100 public protests are expected. Event pages on Facebook indicate the potential for high participation: Nearly 20,000 people have responded to the page for a New York City march alone.
It will be the second straight day of national protests, following Thursday's "Day Without Immigrants" campaign, which was aimed at making a point about the economic impact immigrants have on the U.S. labor force.
Foreign-born residents of the United States were asked to stay home from work or school and to refrain from shopping in rallies and marches in Washington, D.C., Chicago, Denver and many other cities. (snip)
Asking who was behind the strike, Rodino-Colocino said, is "like asking where a forest came from."
"There were many seeds," she said.

Great! The stores won’t be crowded!
Assuming anyone actually participates in this silliness.
The majority in this case, did not vote. Call the waaaaambulance.
You’re allowed to run them over now.
Dang. I used to have a Ford Expedition that was a former BP vehicle. Had a big old cow catcher on the front. We bought it to haul German Shepherds back and forth to training.
Today, I am really sorry I sold that beauty.
The illegal alien strike closed one daycare, making news because it so frustrated parents.
You don’t tell people the night before we’re going to close the facility ... or charge them for the day you suddenly closed while sticking them with extra backup childcare costs.
My legal immigrant wife will be working. The kids she teaches are counting on her.
“Hippies blocking traffic? Ill need to get thst reinforced bumper Ive had my eye on.”
Hit the drum circle first. The drums provide padding.
A hippie hood ornament for my truck is now legal. YAY!!!
Would be nice to see a lot of companies post ads for “upcoming employment opportunities”....
I don’t remember the mediawhores giving free advertisement to the tea party’s protest schedules!! I hate them!!
Soros.
I noticed nothing yesterday. Nothing noticed yet today...I’m going out for lunch in an hour. I doubt they’ll be closed...they’re Korean immigrants who love this nation. Hannah’s Home Cooking (southern home-style cooking by Koreans) - it’s an awesome clean and friendly place to get a good meal fast and reasonably priced.
Please please continue this. Yesterdays ‘immigrant’ day did not hurt me one bit and it was one of the lightest commutes I’ve had in a year.
Ask me if I give sh!t if these aholes lose a days pay. If I were their employer I would have a nice pink slip for them when they got back!!! If I found out their employer backed them I would strike them from my list.
Take it to San Francisco and they would be lined up and bent over.
Awesome!
This will hurt Liberals in their liberal enclaves and do almost nothing to those areas that generally supported Trump.
Other than government workers and government funded community organizations, none of the strikers work.
They can strike forever and I will not miss them.
