I’d urge you to organize your workplace and form a union. You can contact organizers at the AFL-CIO (a kind of union of unions in the US) and find which union is right for your workplace. If you don’t work but are still able to do physical or intellectual labor, start getting as involved in your local community as possible… volunteer at food banks, after school programs, nursing homes, etc. The more people you can reach out to and help or with whom you can organize the better. A massive action like a general strike isn’t just organized over night… it takes communities with common cause and familiarity with one another.

If anyone is doing a general strike, odds are it’ll be like United Auto Workers kicking shit off. Maybe the railroad folks or the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, but more likely the UAW will lead the charge.

You’re on the right track asking “how to” and that’s great! Organizing is a rough road, but it’s vital and worth it. United we bargain, divided we beg.
