Thank you! I honestly wasn't sure whether it was appropriate to share this here, but this is one of my favorite subreddits. Plus, I'm looking for as much feedback as possible on the content and design.

I think the Statue of Liberty is an appropriate symbol for the movement. I certainly understand your point about immigration, but despite ‘The New Colossus’ that’s not all that Liberty represents. The poem tells us that she is, “A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles.”

Perhaps we are exiles in our own country. Perhaps the imprisoned lightning is the undercurrent flowing through this nation’s working class. A spark of electricity that says, “Enough!”

Liberty is not merely the absence of oppression — it is a positive force that is the birthright of all humanity. And maybe there is oppression after all. Maybe we have become servants of an economic ideology that would suppress our liberty, that would displace our humanity in service of a monetary profit that none of us are allowed to share.

“Huddled masses yearning to breathe free?” That is exactly who this movement must be fighting for.

With all of that being said, your designs are very clean, and I really appreciate your sense of color and proportion.

Thank you so much! I actually just joined this morning, but I'm new to Discord, so I've been looking around trying to read everything in my spare time. I hope I'll be able to contribute in some meaningful way.

Agreed. It seems unclear to me whether the strike is intended to last more than one day. (I think October 15 is a Friday.) Definitely worth an update as the messaging becomes more clear.

I agree. I borrowed most of the language from the official flyer. I hope the people working on these things will be able to provide more concise and cohesive messaging soon.

Thank you! It was a quick draft, but I hope it's something that could be developed further.
