Time to strike

I'm calling for a general nation-wide strike. Close all businesses, conduct no transactions, until the racists are out.

Make this viral. I say August 14. Stop the madness now!

But how about we wait until Black Friday? Start off the holiday season with no one buying anything. Not one single thing. Start organizing it now with a list of demands. Retailers will lose their minds.
