A General Strike is the most effective way to pressure the government to change

Protracted General Strikes have revolutionary potential. They can bring down governments and pave the way to for libertarian communism

Everyone else on the planet is doing it, and has been doing so since 1886, when the U.S. executed 4 anarchists on trumped up charges of throwing a bomb in Haymarket Square, during protests to establish the 8-hour work day in the U.S

Never forget that Grover Cleveland declared Labor Day to be in September because he didn't want the holiday to commemorate the Haymarket affair, which took place at the beginning of May in 1886. >🙁

Conservative Democratic President Grover Cleveland was one of those concerned that a labor holiday on May 1 would tend to become a commemoration of the Haymarket affair and would strengthen socialist and anarchist movements that backed the May 1 commemoration around the globe. In 1887, he publicly supported the September Labor Day holiday as a less inflammatory alternative, formally adopting the date as a United States federal holiday through a law that he signed in 1894.
