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.

Yes. Well said. No visable change here in CC Tx.
Bowling for idiots.
Since the morons in the recent marches hadn’t a clue why they were protesting, it’s come down to a “General Strike.” Hahaha, gotta love it.
It’s Friday and this is the first I’m hearing about this. More EPIC FAIL from the fascist liberal snowflakes. Last minute “strikes”. ROTFL. What a bunch of rectal orifices.
Do the Reagan-air traffic controller number on those who don’t show up for work.
This is all about the MSM trying to engineer something and then puff out their chests proclaiming their relevance.
Why not everyone take the day off??? What would these snowflakes do if they couldn’t buy gas or ride the bus to get to their protests??? Or buy food and beer???

Don’t go to school, schools loose money. Don’t go to work, lose your job. Force them to have a Doctor’s note to cost them money. Simple as that.
I just love watching unintended consequences bite the proggies real hard. Again.
Stupid is as stupid does.
They’ll do anything to get a four day weekend. LOL
