Mother's Day Week Strike! May 8- 14. EVERYONE can participate in some way! Spread the word! [View all]
https://www.mothersdaystrike.com/volunteerQuestions answered at the link:
WHAT IF I CAN'T MISS WORK?
Here are some other ways you can support the strike that don’t involve a write-up and a conduct meeting with [your boss].
If you can't miss work, you can still participate. Stock up on some groceries, and just don't shop. For one week.
WHAT IS THE MISSION?
Women and those who are vulnerable to unwanted or high-risk pregnancies will not be participating in or supporting a system that has proven time and time again that it does not regard us as human.
The mission is simple: Break the economy over the course of one week by abstaining from work, shopping, entertaining
WHAT ARE THE GOALS?
https://www.mothersdaystrike.com/about
• Ending the filibuster
• Enacting The Women's Health Protection Act (WHPA)
• Federally codifying Roe v Wade into law.
• Term limits for Supreme Court Justices
• Limiting the number of Supreme Court Justices a single administration can appoint.
ONE WEEK.
For one week, do what you can. Whatever you can.
Don't go out, don't shop, don't participate. And IF YOU CAN stay home from work.
Our country does not consider women to be actual people. Let's do something about that.
