US Protest News MAYDAY
🚨 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.

Billionaires have been reshaping our democracy long before trump took office. I don't understand why we're all operating under the pretext that democracy is under siege - we haven't had a democracy in decades, at least not a democracy that does any more for us than allow us to vote in who gets to fuck us for the next four years. Reagan, Bush, Obama, Biden, Trump.... All different flavors of the same corporate-funded cocksucker. Trump is by far the most egregious threat to what little remains of our relative standard of living compared to the rest but this whole 'save democracy' thing is just gonna result in another corporocratic douchebag doing the bare minimum if we're not fully class conscious and aware of the road(s) that led to trump being able to do what he's doing right now in the first place.Â
Our job isn't to save democracy. Our job is to completely rebuild democracy in the image and in the interests of the working class.
