It is time for the working people of this country to demonstrate their discontent, frustration, anger, and most importantly solidarity against the state of our society. We must protest the corrupt government, and the oligarchy it works for.

For 40 years wages have stagnated in this country, barely keeping up with inflation. Productivity has kept growing, delivering more profits to the billionaire class. Urban and rural communities have been de-industrialized to consolidate gains. Millions are in poverty, millions scrape by, half a million are without homes, hundreds of thousands die from lack of healthcare. This is unacceptable.

On Friday, November 29th 2019, the hard-working americans who work late on the shopping holiday should simply not show up for work. Not only because the event is largely a consumerist fabrication, but because this direct action will cost the billionaire class literally billions. If only a quarter of stores close, it will cost these corporations 200 Billion Dollars. People should also refuse to shop on that day, in stores and online.

Demands:

1. Increased wages, including a minimum wage that is a living wage of at least 15 dollars an hour tied to inflation.

2. A single payer healthcare system.

3. Federal rent control, and community housing programs including community trusts and categorical grants.

4. The boycott of corporate and billionaire money by both political parties in the 2020 election cycle.
