The Women’s March on Washington has decided to become a permanent fixture on the political scene, not just a pink hat-wearing one-off. But that means it’s gotta do something, so it’s come up with something to do: a “general strike” with the catchy title “A Day Without a Woman.”
Now, there’s already at least one other general strike in the offing—and it’s right around the corner, on February 17. The focus of this protest is President Trump’s executive order setting a 90-day moratorium on travel to the United States and a 120 day-moratorium on refugee-admissions from seven Muslim-majority countries. Although that order is currently on hold pending appeals of a Seattle federal judge’s ruling that bars federal authorities from enforcing it, the strike website issues this national call nonetheless.
