Economic tactics. The general strike is more powerful than people seem to realize.
A movement is a defined and coordinated event. It isn’t wanting something. The stats are not made up, but they have a lot of context that isn’t shared in the single sentence for sure.
Movements are not the same as protests, movements have leadership that has explicitly defined asks that the followers agree with. iirc the organizers had challenges with this, so their default asks were awareness and they got that.
That’s why the general strike doesn’t happen on a certain date, it happens once enough people commit.
