Commit to Take Action on May Day

Join people across the country on May 1 to take coordinated action to challenge a system that prioritizes wealth and power over the needs of working communities.

(See our page all about the May Day movement.)

Workers, students, families, and small businesses are coming together for a national day of action grounded in three clear demands.

• Tax the rich so families come first and public systems are fully funded.
• No ICE, no war, and no private forces used to target communities or consolidate authoritarian power.
• Expand democracy and protect the right to vote so power remains in the hands of the people.

This moment builds on a long history of collective action that has driven real change. From mass worker actions to immigrant-led shutdowns to Black-led campaigns that forced corporations and institutions to respond, disruption has always been a necessary tool when traditional channels fail to deliver justice.

The current system depends on participation to function. It depends on workers showing up, students staying in place, and families continuing to spend. When that participation is withdrawn at scale, it creates pressure that cannot be ignored.

The impact of that pressure will directly challenge the economic and political structures that have concentrated wealth, underfunded public goods, and deepened racial and economic inequities across generations.

Every action contributes to a larger, coordinated effort to shift power away from billionaires and toward the people who make this country run.
