Support the National General Strike on October 15, 2021!

As your constituent, I am writing today to ask for your support of the National General Strike taking place on October 15, 2021. I know that you are very busy, but I ask you to publicly support the National General Strike because we need to make progress in the fight for equality, healthcare, and quality of life for the American people, as well as drastic change in our efforts to slow global warming. The main goals of the National General Strike are: • 25% corporate tax rate (No loopholes) • Free healthcare for all • 12 weeks paid parental leave • A $20 minimum wage • A four-day work week • Stricter Environmental Regulations on Corporations (Bans on single-use and micro plastics, as well as limited emissions) The U.S. Government is not serving its people and, as your constituent, I am asking for your support in fighting for this change. You can visit octoberstrike.com to learn more, but a few ways in which the U.S. Government is failing its people are: • The United States is the only developed country that requires zero paid time off for parental leave. • Unemployment rose to 14% in 2021 because companies refused to raise wages. • Only 100 corporations are responsible for 71% of all global carbon emissions. • The federal minimum wage hasn't been raised since 2009. • 40 million Americans live at, or below the national poverty line. • Pharmaceutical companies are extorting patients for medications. • The average American is $90,460 in debt just to afford basic necessities such as housing, food, clothes, education, and medical bills. If you support any of the goals that I’ve mentioned above, which I believe that you should, please support Americans in this strike. I am not just asking for your support of the National General Strike, but also for your support to be public. Your constituents and the American people as a whole need positive changes to be made and we need them now. I look forward to hearing from you regarding the positive steps you are taking to support the National General Strike taking place October 15, 2021.
