The general strike will be May 1 between the hours of 12-230pm. Be sure to bring signs and do not inconvenience anyone/anything. This will show them who's in charge.

I thought you were being serious, on my first take. Had to google it. For those as gullible as me, the strike will last a full day.

“On May 1, on May Day, we are saying, ‘No business as usual,’” he said. “No work, no school, no shopping. We’re going to show up and say we’re putting workers over billionaires and kings.”

I don't disagree with your sentiment, though. The whole "No Kings" thing kind of puts the focus in the wrong place.
