💯 I’m no longer a union organizer (was in grad school & law school), so certainly not an expert voice, but I’ve been through a lot of strikes as a MOP and in my opinion, the quickest way to lose public support for a strike is to NOT ask them to join in solidarity actions. Even symbolic. The public’s attention wanders & tires if they don’t feel a part of it. I hope that your friend can tell us what we can do to show support besides sending strike funds. Which I’ll do!
