Revision as of 21:26, 7 June 2026

A protest at the Capitol turns violent.

The June 2026 general 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.

Participants

A sit-in in Aventura

At the beginning of the actions, Representative PluraGlasshouse (PCP) called for members of Congress to join the strike. Senator Johnes condemned xEndeavour's actions but disagreed with Plura's solution;[1] Representative Stanley582 concurred.[2] Representative Gluonmaster (TE) stated she was "sympathetic to Plura's cause" but "on the fence with whether congress should strike."[3] Server co-owner Technofied issued a statement explaining what had happened.[4]

On 7 June, Secretary of Education Smami advised all department employees to halt unnecessary activity[5] and subsequently announced this to the public.[6] Less than an hour later, the Workers' Party of Redmont officially endorsed the strike and encouraged its members "to walk away from their obligations to their government posts." The party demanded "amnesty or reduction of punishment" for those banned and deported in the 24 hours previous — namely Cassie45806, JuliaMC_ and TheSnowGuardian — and for the resignation of xEndeavour from the staff team.[7] Vice President of the Central Committee (CC) TheWrench01 then motioned to remove Technofied from the CC.[8]

A protest circle at the Reveille spawn

Subsequently, The Radical,[9] a left-wing newspaper, and Georg Street[10] endorsed the strike. Katzen[11] and Braincell News[12] also officially joined the strike. Soon after, Another News Company endorsed the strike and reported that the Department of Public Affairs had joined.[13] Almost immediately after, President of the Senate Talion77 (TP) and Speaker of the House xXTheoryXx (WPR) announced that he had requested President Technofied dissolve the 37th Senate[14] and the 37th House of Representatives.[15] Four minutes later, GlobalGroup Corporation announced its participation,[16] and five minutes later, the United Jaronites Party advised its members to join the strike.[17] Four minutes after that, Mayor of Oakridge Sofia2750 announced that the Oakridge town council had voted to join the strike.[18] The Church of Staffatology also encouraged a full boycott of the server amongst its members.[19] Redmont Bar Association councillor Anthony_org[20] and the Supreme Court of Redmont also suspended their activities.[21]

As this unfolded, #campaign was filled with anti-xEndeavour and pro-strike content.[22] Calls for a "total boycott" emerged.[23] In-game protests at spawn and the Capitol took place and quickly turned violent.[24]

Former President juniperfig has been one of the most active advocates in favor of the strike. She demanded the ongoing Multiman155 presidential campaign cancel its rally that day in support of the protests,[25] and supported the strike on her personal Gnomestack blog.[26] The Multiman155 rally was converted into a rally in favor of the general strike.

Also at this time, a breakaway server called District Roleplay emerged, supported by many of the protestors.[27] Mayor Budgiebud declared the secession of Aventura[28] and Sofia2750 opened a referendum for Oakridge independence;[29] a militia of Aventurians began storming federal government offices in Reveille (including the House of Representatives chambers[30] and the Department of Homeland Security[31]) and robbing the bank.[32]
