This May Day, ‘Workers Will Take To The Streets Against MAGA’

This May Day, International Workers’ Day, we are calling every Worker, organized and unorganized, employed and unemployed, to hit the streets!

On May 1st, Workers, Students, Immigrants and Families in more than1,000 Cities nationwide will join May Day actions.

They will march, rally, and refuse business as usual to demand one thingWorkers Over Billionaires.

Some will take the pledge: “No Work. No School. No Shopping.”

May Day Strong, the Coalition leading this year’s actions, includes: Demands of taxing billionaires so Working Families - not Big Business, come first; No ICE; No war; No private army serving authoritarian power; Expand Democracy; and hands off our vote.

Workers over billionaires is an important slogan.

The biggest beneficiary of the Trump Regime is monopoly capital itself - the financial oligarchy of trillion-dollar corporations and billionaires who rig the political system, bust our Unions, profit from division and war, and bankroll MAGA Fascism.

Because Working People are under the most intense assault in generations.

We are producing more wealth than workers ever have - in history.

Yet, as many of us are painfully aware, our wages have flatlined, and layoffs are rising.

The share of value returned to us as wages has hit a historic low.

Full-time work has grown precarious, and the prices for essential goods and services continue to skyrocket.

The rich are getting richer and we continue to lose ground.

And now, the same Big Tech monopolies driving rapid automation through the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) - which analysts say will displace 25% of working hours, are leading the charge to strip our basic Democratic Rights in service of the Anti-Democratic MAGA agenda.

The attacks on our Labor Movement are intensifying.

Last year, the Trump Regime launched the largest Union-Busting Campaign in recent history, stripping collective bargaining from 1.3 million Federal Workers.

They have gutted the National Labor Relations Board.

They have purged over 300,000 Black Women from the workforce by demolishing DEI and Affirmative Action.

They have escalated ICE raids to terrorize Immigrant Workers Into Silence.
