Going dark for the statewide general strike

Related Topics: George Floyd, Seattle, Shaun Scott

Like all of you, the Sounder at Heart staff has been deeply moved by the protests that have sprung up around the country and specifically in Seattle since George Floyd’s killing at the hands of Minneapolis police. On Friday, we’ll put that into action by honoring Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County’s call for a one-day general strike.

As part of the general strike, BLM-Seattle is urging participants not to go to work, nor work from home. Instead, they are urging everyone to “spend their time and energy on direct action for lasting structural change.”

Sounder at Heart will be honoring the strike by not posting any new content.
