2. Do I have to sign a strike card?
No, signing a strike card is not required. But it is important because it lets us know how many people have committed to striking, and when we reach 3.5%.

3. What is the LA chapter doing?
Our LA chapter is working with General Strike US (GSUS) to organize a national general strike by getting 3.5% of the U.S. population (11 million) to sign their strike cards.

We are also looking into the possibility of a local strike here in LA. We believe that due to recent events, there may be enough momentum for our city to strike on its own. The population of LA county is 9.76 million. That means 3.5% is 341,600 local strike card signatures. But even if we don't reach that number, a local strike may still be possible. To let us know you're interested in a local strike, sign up for our email list.

4. When are meetings?
Virtual chapter meetings are the first Thursday of the month from 6:00 - 7:00 pm PST on Jitsi. You don't need an account to join the meeting; simply type your name (or an alias) and click, "join." The meeting link is here: https://meet.jit.si/gsuslosangeles.

In-person meetings are the last Wednesday of the month at 7:30 pm at Lawless Brewing Co. in North Hollywood: 5275 Craner Ave. North Hollywood, CA 91601. We're in the Game Room to the left upon entering. Join us!

5. When is the strike?
A local strike happens when we have 341,600 strike card signatures within LA County (that's why we need your zip code), or when we feel we have enough partnerships with local non-profits, unions, and other organizations to be effective.

The national strike happens when we hit 11 million strike card signatures nationally.

6. What are your demands?
There are two sets of demands: local and national. You can help craft our demands by joining our chapter and attending a meeting. Our demands would likely be submitted to the LA City Council, the Mayor of LA, and the LA County Board of Supervisors, among others.

7. How can I get involved?
Getting involved is easy! 1.) Sign up for our email list. 2.) Join our discord server. 3.) Follow us on socials. 4.) Attend a chapter meeting!

8. Do you have a list of resources to help me survive a strike?
Yes we do! Check out our Local Strike Resources page for free and low-cost essential services including food, clothing, healthcare, housing support, and more.

9. Who is working with you?
We have a growing list of local partner organizations who are committed to striking with us, including Unión del Barrio, Boycott Home Depot, Strike For Our Rights, and General Strike San Diego.

10. Do you have a calendar of events?
Yes! We have a national calendar with all GSUS events listed in one place.
