Today, all Black women are encouraged to participate in a general strike for Breonna Taylor called “A Day Without Black Women.” No work, no school and no dollars spent.
Breonna Taylor’s life mattered and she was essential. Black women are essential.
Keris Lové and Nia Adams activists with Justice League NYC spoke with Roland Martin about the strike during Monday’s edition of #RMU

Have we forgotten about George Floyd
Why did I just find out on the 29th cause trust me I believe in punishment to those who do me wrong ask any store in the neighborhoods where I have lived you get smart with me you never get a dime from me again I’m telling you I don’t believe in giving other races my money and the only reason why I will buy my clothes from some stores is because I need something’s other than that they can keep every last garment in the store and I only shop at a bodega is because they are family even though they don’t believe it and next time give better warnings when it comes to something like this
Black women wtf !! When you can’t pay your bills and other necessities! Don’t call the government!
Getting so that I don’t even watch my local news and only rely on Bro. Roland and his guests. Find I’m better informed! Thank You
Well hello there. They don’t have jobs anyway.
Good luck getting 50% of black women to participate in that LOL
GD is working on Breanna behalf.
Amen
A day is not enough, it should be made a week so every one can feel it.
I will not shop in order to show my respect for the cause.
The struggle continues
I’m definitely in.
Sounds like tomorrow is the best day to call customer service!
HAVE BLACK MEN DID THAT FOR GEORGE FLOYD… NO!
Wash
Rinse
Repeat
Ughhhhhh
Breonna Taylor – or at least her survivors – got paid $12 million! That’s quite a bit of “justice”, especially given the business Breonna and her boyfriend were in – which is how she found herself in that situation with the Louisville police to begin with.
Just seeing this now. I’ve already been clocked in since 9am. Wish this had been put out sooner.
I love this message, I hope millions participate!!
I’m at work, just now finding out about this… Why ???
I didn’t know it was today
Quit acting like u down for the cause… I guess doing the Harlem shake with Clinton or licking boots ain’t profitable no more huh
What is it exactly do we want from the Breonna Taylor case?
Soros permission?
Today is the first time i heard about this. Need better coverage of this. Not just one day before it happens.
Now all we have to do is to get EVERYONE ELSE to make it a NATION WIDE STRIKE AGANIST THE POLICE !!
Just found out about this…. used a sick day but didn’t know about this til now – by accident at that. Should’ve been given more notice for more to participate.
Not announcing in time. More like blowing smoke but no fire backing it up. That bus strike back in the day lasted for over a year. But everyone knew about it before hand so that said massive strike was truly and deeply felt by the oppressors. Hit the wallets and the bottom lines. Seriously and all together, at the same time.
Black people if you’re going to promote something do it right and in a timely manner.Looks like many people had no freaking idea.
They should have been done this along time ago before Breonna even died and it’s sad that it had to come this far we should already be protected this shit is crazy
WHY AREN’T THESE ACTS OF SOLIDARITY TOLD IN ADVANCE…IN ADVANCE…IN ADVANCE!!!
This is so freakin frustrating that Roland and the Sistah on his panel never said the date of when the Day Without Black Womxn is actually happening. They kept saying “tomorrow” when it’s actually today Tuesday, 29 September. Anyone watching this today will think it’s tomorrow — Wednesday. I wish this had been out there more than on RMU.
A great idea, but you can’t have an effective protest if no one knows about it!
I just found out.
Too late to call out. I’ll just put in half ass effort at work.
If you dig deep into the current inner workings of BLM, it’s now become basically a feminist movement ran by, as Dave Chappelle calls them, the “Alphabet People” and heavily financed by White Liberals who are the beneficiaries of all the campaign donations. I agree with the original roots of the movement. Not the current direction that has been co-opted and corrupted to.
We need more notice, I’m just seeing this
The AG of Kentucky needs to be charged with aiding and abetting to a murder cover-up that is a felony and it is on the law books
@4:00 – what, or whom, caused black women to become more of the labor force than black men starting in the mid-70’s? Someone get back to me with some historical relevance…
