Sorry, the article is in Spanish, I've not found an English article about this strike.

From the article:

Almost silently and like a living tide, the call for the Strike for Palestine on September 27 , called by the unions CGT and Solidaridad Obrera (SO), has been gaining strength. Having launched the official call towards the end of August, little by little other non-majority unions (COS, SAT Granada, Co.bas...), organizations, groups from various sectors of society have shown their intention to subscribe to it. Dozens of posters in various territories of the Spanish State are already circulating, referring not only to continuing the strike but also to making it a day of active struggle throughout the day.

The General Strike has not the support of the two mayor Spanish unions (CCOO and UGT)

The manifesto, posters, support/joining form for associations and calls for picket lines/demonstrations in Catalonia (the part in Spain) are accessible from this website: https://defensempalestina.org/ (in Catalan)

♦️ Palestinian Union of Women’s Action Committees:
—
The Union of Women's Action Committees mourn the comrade Shaima Jabir Al-Shaer and affirm that the crime of her assassination will not deter our people from continuing the struggle and resistance.

The Union of Women's Action Committees mourns the martyr, comrade Shaima Jabir Al-Shaer (18 years old), who was martyred in the horrific Mawasi massacre in Khan Younis Governorate, southern Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of more than 100 martyrs and wounded, along with a large number of missing persons.

The Union of Women's Action Committees condemns this cowardly crime and affirms that this and other crimes of genocide will not deter our people and its women’s movement from continuing their struggle and resistance until the expulsion of the fascist occupation from our Palestinian land, within the borders of June 4, 1967, with Al-Quds as its capital, and ensuring the return of refugees to their homes from which they were displaced since 1948, in accordance with UN Resolution 194.

It is noted that comrade Shaima Al-Shaer was displaced from Rafah Governorate due to the genocide crimes to the Mawasi area in Khan Younis, believing it to be a humanitarian safe zone, as claimed by the fascist occupation, which urged citizens to move there.

Lawyer Rafik Chekkat, founder of the Islamophobia platform, said Imane Maarifi was arrested in the morning after raiding her home and taken into custody in front of her husband and children.

He criticized the arrest and said it took place at a time when French soldiers who fought in Gaza “enjoy total impunity.”

Thomas Portes, a lawmaker from the La France Insoumise, or France Unbowed (LFI) party, wrote that Maarifi was released from custody on Thursday afternoon.

“Imane Maarifi has just been released. Her police custody is over, and no charges will be filed. The search of her home in front of her family leaves no doubt about the intent to intimidate those who speak out in support of the Palestinian people and call for an immediate ceasefire,” he wrote on X.

According to the French daily newspaper l’Humanité, Maarifi was allegedly accused of making “insults in connection with a campaign against the Israeli investment and real estate fair taking place in Paris on September 8.”

Her supporters and friends believe this is “merely an attempt to intimidate her.”

Ghassan Kanafani Assassinated (1972)

Sat Jul 08, 1972

Ghassan Kanafani was a Palestinian author and leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), assassinated on this day in 1972 by Israeli forces in retaliation for the Lod Airport Massacre, claimed by the PLFP.

In May, when the outbreak of hostilities in the 1948 Arab–Israeli War spilled over into the city of Acre, Kanafani and his family were forced into exile while he was still a child. After fleeing ~eleven miles north to Lebanon, they settled in Damascus, Syria as Palestinian refugees.

In 1969, after establishing himself as an author and journalist, he joined The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine and, resigned from his post as editor for the magazine Al-Anwar to edit the PFLP's weekly magazine, al-Hadaf ("The Goal"). He drafted a PFLP program in which the movement officially took up Marxism-Leninism, a notable departure from pan-Arab nationalist ideology.

On July 8th, 1972, at the age of 36, Kanafani was assassinated via car bomb by the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad for his role in the PLFP, which claimed responsibility for the Lod Airport Massacre.

The massacre, committed by three members of the Japanese Red Army recruited by the PLFP, killed 26 people, injuring 80 others.

Ghassan Kanafani was an influential author, whose literary works have been translated into at least 17 languages and published in 20 countries. He began writing short stories when working as a teacher in refugee camps. Often written through the eyes of children, his stories were designed to help his students contextualize their surroundings.

"Everything in this world can be robbed and stolen, except one thing; this one thing is the love that emanates from a human being towards a solid commitment to a conviction or cause."

- Ghassan Kanafani

Founding of the IWW (1905)

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), founded on this day in 1905 in Chicago, Illinois, is an anti-capitalist and internationalist labor union whose slogan says "An injury to one is an injury to all!"

The IWW promotes the concept of "One Big Union", and contends that all workers should be united as a social class to supplant capitalism and wage labor with industrial democracy.

The IWW was officially founded in Chicago, Illinois on June 27th, 1905. A convention was held of 200 socialists and radical trade unionists from all over the United States who opposed the policies and politics of the more moderate American Federation of Labor (AFL). In particular, the IWW opposed the American Federation of Labor's acceptance of capitalism and its refusal to include unskilled workers in craft unions.

The IWW's founders included many historically important labor activists and socialist thinkers, including "Big Bill" Haywood, James Connolly, Daniel De Leon, Eugene V. Debs, Thomas Hagerty, Lucy Parsons, Mary Harris "Mother" Jones, Frank Bohn, William Trautmann, Vincent Saint John, Ralph Chaplin, and many others.

(Auto)ranslated announcement:

_🚨 ATTENTION! *Tomorrow everyone in front of the University of Barcelona to celebrate the historic victory of the students.

After 17 days of camping in Palestine at the University of Barcelona:

The university has not only approved the severance of relations with Israel, but has committed itself and activated the necessary mechanisms to make it possible. After more than two weeks of daily assemblies, actions, meetings and communiqués, the students demonstrate that the action works and push forward for a free Palestine.

After a historic victory today they have announced that tomorrow May 24 in the afternoon they will end the camp. The end of the camp implies a step forward in the struggle, to continue mobilizing our collective struggle in different spaces. We hope that yesterday will be one more victory of the gains to come and bring us closer to a common goal for life and dignity.

Come make noise with us and welcome the students: 🗓️ Friday 24 May at 6.30pm 📍Plaça Universitat (in front of the UB door)

📢 Together we can shake the world for Palestine; to stop genocide, occupation and apartheid in Palestine. We know it works and we won't stop until we get it: free Palestine, from the river to the sea.🇵🇸_
