General Strike CT

We don’t survive by hoping the system changes. We survive by building power together. Our 5 Step Strategy shows how we move. From building local community power, to linking nationally, to coordinated action, and preparing to govern ourselves. Our P.O.W.E.R. demands show why we move. People Over Profits, Self Determination, Working Class Liberation, Equity & Autonomy, and Resistance to Empire. Every survival program launched, mutual aid network established, tenant union, GSUS chapter, community liberated zone, and community study group is part of preparing our communities for what’s coming and for what we’re building. If you’re asking: "How do we protect each other?" "How do we fight back together?" "How do we build something better?" This is where you start. Get involved. Volunteer. Help prepare your community. You can find the full 5 step strategy, broad list of demands, and organizing resources in our resource link tree and welcome packet. The very nature of our survival depends on how we move and whether we move together. Build power. Build community. Prepare to win. All Power To The People!

Don't Panic, Organize. Volunteer to prepare your community to strike back. Volunteer to take immediate actions to meet the people's immediate needs. Either we keep complying or organize. Go to linktr.ee/generalstrikeus to learn more about GSUS - view the welcome packet - view additional resources - sign the strike card - join the discord - start or join a General Strike U.S. chapter in your community - subscribe to our YouTube and more

Power isn’t just saying "no". It’s deciding where your time, energy, skills, & resources go. Every action builds the networks, relationships, and infrastructure we need to take real collective control. This is how we train, organize, & move toward a General Strike. Step in. Step up. Step together. ✊️

A picture of protesters holding American Flags and holding up signs. Layered on top is a Blue and Red “Free America” logo and underneath it in white text on a blue background it reads “WALKOUT”. Below that is larger white text on a navy blue background which reads, “*** Jan 20, 2026 ***” and then “2 pm * CT State Capitol”. The rest of the flyer is over a teal colored background- a block of white test reads “Join us as we walk away from fascism and towards a Free America”. Another Navy Blue banner with white text reads, “Roadside Rally * Community Org Tables * Speeches * Action Guides”. The bottom of the poster has the “FreeAmeri.ca” URL in navy text, and includes the logos for CT Sons of Liberty, We are Women Rising, General Strike CT, National Organization for Women CT, and CT50501.

Large white text on a navy blue background: “POP-UP (REALLY, REALLY) FREE STORE” “*Jan 20th, 2026; *2pm; *CT State Capitol”. Then below it on a teal background in white text: “A store where NOTHING is for sale, and EVERYTHING is FREE!! Take something you need and leave something that you don’t. Anything left at the end of the event will be donated to those in need. Please limit items to non-perishables, clothing and small household items.” In the bottom right of the image are the logos for General Strike CT, and CT50501.

Rally and Pop-up Free Store: today at 2pm on the Capitol Front Lawn in Hartford! #hartford #CT #rally #free #Generalstrike #GSUS

The Trump administration’s militarized immigration enforcement is putting innocent working people in danger.

Hartford protesters say they were pepper-sprayed during confrontation at rally for mom killed by ICE Several demonstrators say they were pepper-sprayed during a clash at a vigil for a Minnesota mom killed by ICE.

Hearsay from a 50501 chat as I was unable to attend: Uncertain on HFD involvement. But tear gas was used and everyone who got sprayed got helped and went home to shower and there were no major injuries.

#Rally4Renee in Newtown, CT this Saturday. Renee Nicole Good should be alive today. Stand with Renee’s family/her community. Her killing is unjustifiable/unconscionable. The life of a mother of 3 was forcibly taken because an ICE encounter escalated to gunfire. RSVP: bit.ly/rally4renee

Also! RIGHT NOW IN NEW HAVEN: Avelo Boycott press conference and Rally against ICE Violence. 4pm at 121 Elm Street. #StopICE #rally #Avelo #Vigil #Connecticut #NewHaven
