May Day General Strike

Code Pink says:

• Because war criminals go on book tours while their victims’ corpses rot, and the families grieve.
• Because 22-yr-olds leave college with heavy loads of debt and few job prospects.
• Because men and women (and yes, even children) roll themselves in blankets and sleep in doorways, night after night.
• Because a professor got a police baton in the chest when she tried to protect UC students from violent cops at Occupy Cal.
• Because “there aren’t enough funds” for childcare or shelters, but there are always enough funds for the Pentagon and the increasingly militarized police forces (read more here).
• Because wealth and power have concentrated increasingly into the richest 1%.
• Because tax loopholes allow wealthy corporations and individuals to pay little or no taxes.
