Businesses and Cooperatives honoring the General Strike
We have created this site to show all the businesses that are ceasing normal activities* to support and honor the November 2nd Oakland General Strike. We believe that we can make a strong statement by taking a day off of income generating activities and spending it laboring to let the country know that we stand together for a fundamental shift in priorities.
If you are a business owner, a worker cooperative member, or board member we urge you to do the same, and to let the world know. Announce it on your website and on your lists. Post signs in your windows. And let us know.
