The editors of Waging Nonviolence are on strike today in solidarity with calls for a general strike across the United States. We withdraw our participation from an online media industry that exploits the labor of content creators and rewards the production of narratives that glorify violence as entertainment and legitimate the use of military force by corporations and states. Instead of working, we will take to the streets, participating in and documenting the May Day actions happening across New York City. Follow us @wagingnv and @howistrike.

How are you going on strike? Tell us.
