General Strike US is a decentralized grassroots movement working to organize a nationwide general strike in the United States. The organization emerged in 2025 around the belief that collective labor power is a primary tool for challenging the concentrated power of corporations, billionaires, and political elites. At the center of its strategy is the “Strike Card,” a digital pledge that individuals can sign to commit to a general strike once the movement reaches a critical mass—specifically 3.5% of the U.S. population, or approximately 11 million people. This threshold is drawn from research often cited by advocates of nonviolent resistance, suggesting that movements reaching approximately 3.5% participation may significantly influence political outcomes.

The stated mission of General Strike US is to coordinate a mass labor stoppage to influence structural economic and political change. Its goals include ending corporate influence in government, defending civil liberties, and advancing economic, racial, climate, and gender equity. However, the movement emphasizes that specific demands will be developed in coordination with local chapters and partner organizations once the participation threshold is met.
While General Strike US does not operate through traditional top-down structures, it is actively building a decentralized network of local and regional chapters. These groups are encouraged to organize around mutual aid, strike preparedness, and community engagement. The website outlines plans for these chapters to serve as logistical hubs and support structures once the general strike is activated. Resources, organizing materials, and online meeting calendars are provided to facilitate local involvement.
Supporters describe the movement as a significant expression of working-class resistance during a period of economic and political instability.
General Strike US represents one organizing effort within the broader landscape of civic and labor-based movements in the United States. Its use of digital tools and decentralized coordination reflects a contemporary approach within the growing movement for economic and social transformation.
