You need a shitload of influence across the entire region you’re targeting (the county?). If you’re asking this question, you probably don’t have it. You should’ve started a decade or two ago.
A national general strike requires the organization of other large amounts of large organizations with millions of members.
Calling for a strike on Lemmy won’t get you anything. The best random people like us might be able to do is target those with that influence to try and cajole them into organizing the strike.

Internet, phones, snail mail, word of mouth, whatever. The issue remains the same. You need clout. And a lot of it in the right places with the right people.
