J20 Day of Resistance & General Strike

To coincide with the Trump presedential inauguration, our collective will close for formal business and participate in a day of community actions to resist the "peaceful transfer of power" and reject normalization of racism, misogyny, homophobia, corporate dominance, and intensified state repression. We will celebrate and deepen connections between and across our communities, share knowledge and resources, and offer support and solidarity to those most under threat from the incoming administration.
