Alright you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,

Take Two.

Ten years after Occupy Wall Street one thing has become painfully clear: the people in charge of the global system have run it aground.

It’s time for another show of righteous discontent.

But this time will be a little different. Instead of marching in the streets and occupying parks, we’re calling for a Worldwide General Strike — A Day of Rage Against World Leaders.

On September 17th, everything simply … stops. Kids don’t go to school. Parents don’t go to work. We don’t drive our cars. We don’t go out to the shops.

We bring the world to a standstill.

And then, as revolutionary promise hangs in the air, we deliver an ultimatum to our leaders:


Print version


Between now and then, we send this message to every politician, every journalist, every pundit . . . every CEO, artist and intellectual luminary. We blast it across the internet for all to read.

We print out multiple copies and stick them up all over our cities . . . on every lamppost, bank window, storefront and government-office door.

Then, at COP26 in Glasgow this November, if our leaders refuse to declare a Code-Red Emergency and make urgently needed cuts to emissions, We the People of the world will rise up and bring their doomsday machine to a sudden sputtering halt.

And out of its smoking corpse, we’ll rise up and build anew.


The Third Force
