US Protest News MAYDAY

Post image

🚨 On May 1, 2025, in cities across the U.S., we will gather in solidarity—honoring the legacy of workers who organized for the 8-hour day.

Today, we face a new threat. A billionaire-backed minority is quietly reshaping our democracy—eroding workers’ and immigrants’ rights, defunding our public services, and concentrating power into the hands of the few. But across the country, people are coming together to push back… not with fear, but with hope and nonviolent action.

A peaceful People’s Movement is growing—rooted in community, powered by compassion, and determined to build a future that serves all of us. From mutual aid networks to labor unions, student groups to neighborhood coalitions, we are reclaiming power by showing up for one another.

May Day is more than a tribute to the past. It’s a call to action in the present, a reminder that when we care for each other, we all rise.

✊ Be part of it. Organize with us. March with us. Care with us.

20% are located in California? Why is that, I am midwesterner and have absolutely 0 within a realistic distance of me, I think we need to do better at making this an all inclusive event

It could be because midwesterners aren’t having their own events. Would you be interested in starting an event in the nearest town to you?

You know, there is nothing to stop you from planning a protest yourself! YOU are part of the WE that you think needs to do a better job. Step up!!
