The Strike That Could Save Democracy: GENERAL STRIKE

Sinister Silhouettes w/ Tasha Pierce

What if I told you that real power isn’t in the hands of politicians—it’s in ours?

In this special episode of Democracy on the Brink: A Revolution in Real Time, we’re breaking down the true power of the general strike—how everyday people have used it to challenge injustice, topple regimes, and reclaim their futures.

We dive into the history of general strikes, the science behind why they work, and how you can be part of this movement even if you can’t march in the streets.

From Wakanda’s rally cries to Star Wars rebellions, we’re pulling wisdom from the worlds we love—and applying it to the fight we're facing right now.

Because here’s the truth:

The attack on democracy isn’t coming.

It’s already here.

And the window to push back is closing fast.

Whether you’re a frontline protester, a digital warrior, or just figuring out where you fit in—you’re part of this.

Let’s talk about how we shut it down, lift each other up, and build the future they don’t want us to believe is possible.
