Minneapolis: Second General Strike Set for January 30 - PopularResistance.Org
Minneapolis, Minn - Student unions and campus labor organizations at the University of Minnesota are calling for a second general strike on Friday, Jan. 30, 2026, intensifying a growing movement that seeks accountability for recent fatal encounters involving federal immigration enforcement and the withdrawal of federal agents from Minnesota. The call follows a historic statewide general strike on Jan. 23 that organizers framed as an “economic blackout,” urging residents to stay home from work and school and to refrain from shopping. That first action drew mass participation across the Twin Cities and beyond.
