Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson boldly called for Americans to stage a general strike during his speech at his city’s ‘No Kings’ rally on Saturday.
“If my ancestors, as slaves, could lead the greatest general strike in the history of this country, taking it to the ultra-rich and big corporations, we can do the same today. I’m calling on black people, white people, brown people, Asian people, immigrants, gay people throughout this country to stand up against tyranny to send a clear message to the ultra-rich and big corporations. We are gonna make them pay their far share in taxes to fund our schools, to fund jobs, to fund healthcare, to fund transportation. Democracy will live on because of this generation. Are you ready to take it to the courts and to the streets?”
