This is my hope, too, but it's happening slower than I'd like. Enthusiasm for https://generalstrikeus.com/was strong at first, but has slowed significantly. It's always on my protest sign "Signs a strike card!" My hope is that the protests will grow and develop into momentum for a strike... I'm not sure what else to do...
