How it works
Build support. Choose a date. Stand together.
Pledging is the first step. Helping another person understand the idea is the next.
- Add your pledge. Choose your country. Keep your name private, or choose to show it. Save your private code.
- Help spread the message. Share the website, have a conversation or make your own campaign material.
- Prepare for a date. Organisers explain the plan and give everyone time to make arrangements.
- Decide how to take part. Pause non-essential work or spending where it is safe and practical. Keep care and essential services going.
150 million is the ambition. At 20 million, planning begins.
150 million is our long-term global ambition. At 20 million recorded pledges, formal consultation and preparation begin with organisations and unions, including discussion of possible dates. Pledging continues throughout. These are campaign choices, not numbers that guarantee safety, turnout or success. The count records pledges; it cannot prove how many different people will take part.
At 20 million recorded pledges, organisations and unions will be invited to discuss and propose a possible global date and organise towards a first three-day action. Palestinian organisations and affected communities should help shape that process. Consultation begins at this milestone; it does not depend on growth slowing or on 150 million being out of reach.
Reaching 20 million does not automatically set a date or call the action. Any proposal must explain who is taking responsibility, the geographic reach and organisational support, local legal and worker-safety considerations, how essential services will continue, and the preparation time needed.
Before and after this milestone, the campaign continues building support, checking the count and helping local groups prepare. Pledging stays open towards the 150 million ambition. Everyone decides whether and how to take part when a date and plan are announced.
How a date would be chosen
No date has been set. At 20 million recorded pledges, the campaign will begin formal consultation with organisations and unions to discuss and propose a possible global date and organise towards a first three-day action. Pledging continues towards our long-term ambition of 150 million. Reaching 20 million does not automatically announce a date or call the action. A decision needs a clear plan, named people taking responsibility, geographic reach, organisational support, local legal and worker-safety review, and time for everyone to prepare.
Before an announcement, the people taking responsibility must be named. Palestinian organisations and affected communities should help shape the plan. Local groups, workers and advisers need time to assess what participation would mean and how essential services will continue.
The announcement must give the start and end times, explain local time zones, allow a stated preparation period, and set out how postponement or cancellation will be communicated. Organisations and supporters can then help spread the agreed date. Personal pledge contact details are not needed: announcements will appear on this website.
About one month after an initial action, organisers would review whether food, medicine and other essential aid are reaching people reliably, using dated humanitarian reporting. If meaningful progress is still missing, another 72-hour action could be proposed. It would need a fresh announcement, safety review and a new choice to take part. It is not an automatic extension.
Why might this make a difference?
Work and spending give ordinary people a voice in the economy. Acting together can make a shared demand more visible. The result depends on how many people take part, where they are and what they are able to do.
