CURE News
Reminder about the upcoming Indivisible-sponsored May 1 national strike:
On Friday, May 1 people are urged to not go to work or school or to shop. It is intended to demonstrate to Washington and the oligarchs who support the regime that the greatest power is in the hands of the people. However, CURE and Indivisible agree that you should not participate in any way if participation would threaten your job or personal well-being or your education. We are urged to oppose the Washington regime only in ways which are safe for ourselves and our families.
