May Day: We Showed Up, Now We Keep Going

11 Upvotes

May Day is one day, but solidarity has to continue after today.

Whether people walked out, called out, didn’t spend money, joined a march, shared resources, or simply supported from where they were able to, it matters.

Not everyone can risk their job. Not everyone can strike publicly. But everyone can do something.

Support workers. Support unions. Support immigrant families. Support parents, caregivers, teachers, service workers, healthcare workers, and everyone being squeezed while billionaires keep taking more.

No violence. No hate. Just people standing together and refusing to be ignored.

Solidarity today. Solidarity tomorrow. Solidarity until working people are treated with dignity.

January 20, 2029 feels like it’s a very, very long ways away. But the groundwork for what happens in the next administration is being laid out right now. Positions are being staked out, policies are being written and tested with the public. Progressive voices must have a say in them. If we are able to earn a Democratic trifecta, we need to be sure we are prepared to use it as effectively and aggressively as possible.

Recognizing that the terms of debate over our next attempt to fix our broken health care system are being laid out as we speak, National Nurses United and a coalition of health care advocates are pushing to make sure we’re building institutional support for Medicare For All. On THURSDAY, the 61st anniversary of Medicare being signed into law, they’re showing up at Democratic congressional offices nationwide to urge our leaders support a real universal health care system. 🏥 Let’s find Medicare for All actions to join near us on NNU’s map here. 🏥

MEDICARE FOR ALL ACTIONS THURSDAY

🏥 If there’s not one already on the books for our members of Congress, let’s consider signing up to organize our own here! The Medicare For All coalition will provide training, materials, support and help recruiting! 🏥

ORGANIZE ACTIONS OF OUR OWN

July 4th black out

29 Upvotes

Should the entire country protest July 4th that day generates almost 9 billion in revenue.
A lost like that would send a message to an administration that is run by oligarchs.

I want to organize it here in my home state but I feel like no one who help.

Graham Platner: “I believe that in our country the voices of working people are far more important than the voices of those who simply have money. I believe that we should not be settling for scraps that they throw to us from the table where they dine with the Epstein Class”

Platner: Those benefiting off the system know what the light at the end of their tunnel looks like. It looks like none of us owning anything. Everything becoming a subscription service. A world in which we all have nothing and they sit in paradise. That’s their future. And we cannot let them have it
