[[File:Protest against xEndeavour at the Capitol, June 2026.png|thumb|A protest at the [[Capitol]] turns violent.]]
The '''June 2026 general strike''', dubbed the '''6/7 strike''', began on 7 June 2026 in response to a series of actions by [[xEndeavour]] and the wider staff team, including taking over the DemocracyCraft Discord server and banning several players without notifying them of the reason.

== Background ==
Late on 6 June or early on 7 June, [[JuliaMC_]] requested to have her deadname removed from her forums account. xEndeavour refused, despite this having been done for [[Sofia2750]] in the past. xEndeavour, despite having an alleged conflict of interest, banned JuliaMC_, as well as her supporter, Cassie45806, as well as TheSnowGuardian and [[pricelessAgrari]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://raz.tpa.lol/article/b2fe830d-a995-48cf-848b-0dfb19502cf2|title=WHY ARE PLAYERS PROTESTING END?|author=mayamayamaya13|publisher=Raz-TPA News|publication_date=7 June 2026|access_date=7 June 2026}}</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

[[File:Protest against xEndeavour at the Capitol, June 2026.png|thumb|A protest at the [[Capitol]] turns violent.]]
The '''June 2026 general strike''', dubbed the '''6/7 strike''', began on 7 June 2026 in response to a series of actions by [[xEndeavour]] and the wider staff team, including taking over the DemocracyCraft Discord server and banning several players without notifying them of the reason.

== Background ==
Late on 6 June or early on 7 June, [[JuliaMC_]] requested to have her deadname removed from her forums account. xEndeavour refused, despite this having been done for [[Sofia2750]] in the past. xEndeavour, despite having an alleged conflict of interest, banned JuliaMC_, as well as her supporter, Cassie45806, as well as TheSnowGuardian and [[pricelessAgrari]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://raz.tpa.lol/article/b2fe830d-a995-48cf-848b-0dfb19502cf2|title=WHY ARE PLAYERS PROTESTING END?|author=mayamayamaya13|publisher=Raz-TPA News|publication_date=7 June 2026|access_date=7 June 2026}}</ref><ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />
