Minnesota lawmakers are supporting a strike on Jan. 23, urging people to skip work, stay home from school and not go shopping for the day. More on why they support the strike here:
For those of you who are from outside the US, this is a Fox affiliate, which is a pretty conservative news source, but less conservative than Fox News proper, since it’s for the MSP area specifically. Still an indicator that we’re likely to see very good participation.
