Businesses and Cooperatives honoring the General Strike

Design Action Collective — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 04:28:13 +0000

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.

These are the businesses that stand with the 99% (see statements in the comments section below) :

Half days and partial closures: Cafe Gabriela, Inkworks Press, Global Exchange

*On this page we are listing just shops that are closing for the strike. Many businesses are supporting the strike in other ways – support the strike however you can.

No Business as Usual! Nov. 2 General Strike
