How Celebs & the Media Are Striking Today
With less than 24 hours before A Day Without Women, a bunch of celebrities and a few media outlets are showing their intent to strike on social media.
The strike, organized by the same women behind the Women’s March on January 21st, asks women to abstain from all labor, paid and unpaid. For anyone unable to strike and men, there are other ways to participate as well.
While a lot of people striking are social justice warriors and professional protesters, it’s dope that so many celebrities are showing their intent to strike and giving visibility to the cause. Here are some of the celebs who are preparing to strike:
1. Janelle Monae
2. Aja King
3. Jessica Chastain
