The People's Sick Day, Three Day Strike and Boycott

Toker · Jul 22, 2025

The People's Sick Day, is the online movement that...

aims to address a laundry list of social and political issues by withholding one of the average American's only powers outside of a voting booth — their labor and buying power. In a post addressing their planned walkout, they slam the 902 billionaires living in the United States.

The overarching theme of the movement is that everyone has their grievances and issues with how the government in this country functions and how it doesn't seem to work for them anymore.
According to the group's mission statement, they plan to institute a so-called "economic blackout." Its members would either call out of work sick or take sick time for three days, not spending any money during those three days. For those unable to take time off from work, they ask that those members do the bare minimum at their jobs, meaning no unpaid overtime and no special favors for their employers. What the organizers see as one of their greatest strengths is that they won't be announcing the dates months in advance. They plan for it to be a "sneak attack" with participants only receiving 48 hours' notice ahead of the planned three-day strike

The group's list of demands is lengthy and reads as somewhat auspicious, given the current political climate, increasing polarization, and the historically slow pace at which the federal government moves when legislating small things, let alone major things like healthcare, campaign finance reform, tax policy, and wage increases.

According to the group's Discord server, where the majority of the members communicate, plan, and share ideas. The following is a complete list of their demands:

1. Calling for the impeachment, removal, and arrest of Donald John Trump and the Republican administration for knowingly manipulating the U.S. stock market, ignoring the U.S. Constitution, trafficking humans, and destroying our federal workforce. HE IS A CRIMINAL! LOCK HIM UP.
2. Demanding HANDS OFF Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, and veterans' benefits
3. Demanding the removal of caps on Social Security
4. Demanding NO MORE tax breaks for the rich — TAX THEM ALL!
5. Demanding an end to unlimited corporate profits and economic injustice
6. Demanding an end to lobbyist and SUPER PAC funding
7. Demanding the elimination of Citizens United
8. Demanding an increase in the federal minimum wage to $20 an hour, with adjustments for inflation as needed
9. Demanding a cap on CEO pay at no more than 35% above the lowest worker's salary
10. Demanding that wages for elected officials be capped at the median salary of their district
11. Demanding caps on rent, grocery, and insurance costs
12. Demanding universal healthcare for all U.S. citizens and federal protection for sick time
13. Demanding term limits for all members of Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court
14. Demanding reform of immigration policies
15. Demanding gun law reform — PROTECT OUR KIDS!
16. Demanding codified women's rights to choose
17. Demanding codified DEI and affirmative action
18. Demanding the elimination of the Electoral College and a ban on gerrymandering
19. Demanding ranked-choice voting in all federal and state elections
20. Demanding the taxation of mega-churches
21. Demanding free post-secondary education

I think this should be called Project 2029!

They're going to announce actions with short notice. So it's call in sick, and don't spend money for three days if you have sick time or can afford it.
