They're not forgotten, we just ran out of room here. What is fact, is we are against u.s. imperialism any and everywhere. Connect with us to strengthen our resistance to strike back at the root.

Huey words remind us that being armed means more than weapons, it’s about power, knowledge, and organization.

In the Black radical tradition, self defense is collective defense the right and responsibility to protect our people, our communities, and our freedom from systems built to control us. ✊🏾

A revolutionary general strike is how we cut off the empire’s reach tackling many injustices at once. By withdrawing our labor, disrupting its profits, and standing in solidarity across borders, we strike at the root, not just the symptoms.

We’re not neutral. We stand firmly against U.S. imperialism in all its forms, whether it’s police and prisons at home, or occupation and exploitation abroad because it’s all one machine.

The U.S. Colonial Empire doesn’t just exploit, it dominates. Every tentacle in this image shows how U.S. power grips entire nations through war, extraction, and control. This isn’t accidental, it’s by design.
Strike Back!
#Generalstrikeus
Black and white illustration showing the "U.S. Empire" as a black box with a dollar sign on top and multiple tentacle-like arms extending outward. Each arm reaches into different regions labeled Turtle Island (Native Land), Puerto Rico, Hawai‘i, Haiti, Cuba, Greenland, Palestine, Israel, Sudan, UAE, Congo, and Rwanda. The arms clutch symbols of domination like oil rigs, guns, fences, bombs, debt, and blockades. Below the empire, a raised fist emerges from a network of connected dots — symbolizing collective power and resistance. Large bold text reads “Strike Back,” with a link below: linktr.ee/generalstrikeus.

Ant-tifa here to remind us that a General Strike without preparation leaves our most vulnerable and marginalized communities at risk. We need 3.5% of the population not only to sign the strike card, but to volunteer their time, resources, and skills.

Illustration of a red ant wearing a purple bandana around its neck, carrying two large gold bags labeled “MUTUAL AID.” The ant looks determined, with a clenched fist and furrowed brows. A thought bubble reads: “Mutual Aid, Collective Power, General Strike!” At the top, bold text says “General Strike U.S.” with the website “Generalstrikeus.com” below. In the bottom right corner, there’s a black-and-white QR code with a raised fist inside a circle. The background is light gray with faint network-like patterns.

📊 Did you know? Since 2009, over 100,000 Detroit families have been displaced because of illegally inflated property taxes. 💔

It’s time for accountability. Detroiters deserve justice, not excuses.
