I pose a question: “What if we all just... stopped?” Picture this for a moment—what could happen if we took a collective pause? A moment of silence from the hustle and bustle could shake up the status quo and change everything we know. Every latte poured at your favorite café, every package delivered to your door, and every friendly voice on the customer service line builds our economy. We are the backbone of this nation, consistently overlooked and undervalued despite our vital contributions. Now, imagine three days of collective sick-outs; a silent protest that sends shockwaves through the system. We won’t apologize for our absence. Just think about it—a billion-dollar impact is waiting, and it’s in our hands. It's time to take a stand without raising our voices. We don’t need to march or shout to be heard. Simply calling in sick can disrupt the machine. Wearing black or choosing to spend less amplifies our message. Remember, rest is an incredibly powerful form of resistance. To our healers and essential workers, your fight is ongoing. This message goes out to all of us still fueling the system. Your efforts matter, and don’t forget that your rest is equally important. So, the People’s Sick Day is coming, and you’ll be given 48 hours' notice. Change your profile, spread the word, and get ready to reclaim our power, one day at a time!
