Planet Earth is living on borrowed time, a new global report reveals. The world must stop burning fossil fuels now and take urgent steps to reduce global warming.
Currently a general strike in the US is planned for May 1st 2028 to coincide with the UAW’s contract ending. Unfortunately that’s 3 years away, and I doubt climate policy is going to be a focus of that strike.

So, are we going to organise a general strike to enforce change or should we start preparing for a different climate?

I also hope the rest of the world pushes for their own general strikes.
