Friday May 1: No Work. No School. No Shopping.
On Friday, May 1st, we will join May Day Strong, labor groups, and other allies to flex our economic power for a day of economic disruption. There are many ways you can take action, from refusing to shop, to walking out of work, to attending a demonstration.
If we’re serious about resisting what the Trump administration and the billionaire class is doing, we must start to flex our collective economic muscle. The power lies in our hands, no matter what the Trump regime tells us.
Why Take Action on May Day?
- We want our tax dollars to go to schools and housing, not to sending federal agents into our cities to attack and kill our neighbors.
No one should live under ICE violence or militarized occupation, period. Our tax dollars should fund stability and care, not occupation and repression. - Democracy should work for working people, not billionaire interests.
While working families are stretched to the brink, billionaires and corporations are posting record profits and hoarding the wealth our labor creates. That money should be funding housing, schools, healthcare, and the public goods that make life livable. - The Corporations and the ultra-rich have rigged the system and it won’t get un-rigged unless people take big actions together.
Corporations and the ultra-wealthy are rigging the rules to protect their power and shut the rest of us out. A government captured by billionaire interests will not solve a crisis that benefits them without us making it.
Will you take action on May 1, by showing up, by stepping back from business as usual, and by helping others do the same? Here are steps you can take:
- Sign the pledge to participate however you can on the day of economic disruption.
- Show up for the event in Issaquah or Find an Event Near You
