General strike to take place nationwide on April 5: Here's what is impacted
Newsweek via MSN ^ | April 1, 2026 | Amanda Greenwood

Posted on 04/01/2026 7:36:04 AM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

A nationwide general strike is set to take place on April 5, with organizers calling on all Americans to come together and take part in a coordinated effort to “force big change” by applying large‑scale economic pressure.

The action is being organized under the banner of “General Strike 2026,” also known as Strike26.

Organizers are positioning the April 5 action as an extension of the previous nationwide general strike—which happened on January 30—framing it as part of a broader, ongoing campaign rather than just a single‑day protest.

According to their website, the campaign organizers are calling for a nationwide strike to stop ICE from “murdering and kidnapping innocent people,” to remove the “entire Trump regime,” and to get the Department of Justice to release all of the Epstein files.

They say that ICE is “white nationalism with guns,” warn that recent catastrophic events are just a “dry run for what the regime has planned for the midterms,” and believe that “a general strike is the only way out without more bloodshed.”

Do they know April 5 is Easter Sunday? Perhaps this is an April Fool's Day prank?

There was a National Strike on January 30?

Did I miss something? LOL.

BTW, 4/5/26 is Easter Sunday. It’s easy to “go on strike” if nothing’s open. LOL!

Exactly.

And that will be how they claim success. “Look at all of the closed stores and businesses! The people have spoken!”

Works every time it's tried.

Worthless parasites, subsidized by others and which make up the largest part of the Democrat party, going on strike is like Cosmo Kramer being on strike 12 years at the bagel shop.
It makes ZERO difference.

"Do they know April 5 is Easter Sunday?"

They're commies - they don't recognize Easter.

Hilarious. The socialist organizers don’t seem to realize we don’t do that here

In any case I will be in Florida, which I expect will not see much participation.

I wish conservatives could do general strikes.

Imagine if every straight white male refused to come to work for a week, in order to protest DEI.

Sad, lonely people, who’re actually protesting against their empty spiritual existence.

They just don’t realize it.

I guess back when I was working age, our crew at a local shop could have done a general strike...let’s say for a week. Only 2 catches...we worked on commission so no one would have made a dime for that week. Quite possibly a new crew would have been hired in our abscence. Then we would be looking for work.

A General Strike on Easter?

Does this mean the Easter Bunny won’t come?

A Sunday, and Easter Sunday on top of that - you’d think that if they wanted to have an impact that they’d do it in the middle of the week. I guess all those toasts of “Confusion to our enemies!” worked...because the most charitable thing that I can say about them is that they’re confused.
