Upcoming "No Kings" Protest March Needs to Be a National Strike!

[H2O Man]

I agree that we are at the point where people will need to take a step beyond rallies. Strikes have played important roles in gaining human rights. As a long-retired union worker, I understand that not everyone one can afford to. Likewise, boycotts can get results.

Still, I think that the time is rapidly approaching when we will need my generation to take the front lines in Gandhi/King nonviolent protest. It's curious that humans are the only living entities that require sacrifices. Not everyone, obviously. I've been studying Merton recently. Like everyone my age, I want to spend my remaining time in my garden, and playing with my itty-bitty grandchildren. Walking in nature with the dog, feeding the cats, and finding treats for what I believe to be the crankiest, most aggressive old hen in history.

But the time has come.
