A nationwide, general strike is happening today, Friday, February 17. Tens of thousands of people are planning to participate in almost every state across the country. They plan to skip work or school and, instead, attend rallies and marches across the country. In addition, a Women’s Strike is planned for March 8 and an Immigrants’ Strike happened yesterday. One of the groups organizing the events is Strike4Democracy. In New York City alone, nearly 20,000 people have responded with interest in a march. (To see photos from today’s strikes, please see Heavy’s story here.)

Here are the cities with strikes and protests planned for today, listed alphabetically by state. These were put together by Strike4Democracy, along with a crowdsourced list that Strike4Democracy is also sharing. You can find a complete, updated list here.
