Hi joyce,
With May 1 approaching, partners across the country are stepping up. National networks, labor unions, and local coalitions are organizing in real time, locking in permits, planning walkouts, and bringing people together for marches, rallies, and teach-ins. In Chicago, labor leaders are calling for a May Day economic blackout—highlighting the kind of bold action this moment is inspiring.
This momentum is growing quickly, and we need to stay coordinated as more partners and events come online.
Don’t forget to join our WEEKLY calls on Thursday to prepare partners and event hosts leading up to May Day 2026!

On May 1, we come together for a Workers Over Billionaires national day of action — to demand a country where working people can afford to live, where the rules aren’t rigged for the ultra-wealthy, and where our communities come first.
We’re inviting you to host an action in your community:Host An Action on May Day 2026!
Hosting can look different depending on what makes sense where you are: Organize a march, rally, or public gathering; Coordinate a workplace action; Plan a visibility action or local demonstration.
You don’t have to do this alone. We’ll support you with:
- A host toolkit with planning guidance and materials
- Graphics, messaging, and outreach templates
- Connection to a growing national network taking action together
Because when millions of us move together, it becomes undeniable: this country should work for working people, not billionaires. This is how we build the power it takes to win, not just showing up, but stepping up together.
In Hope & Solidarity,
May Day Strong
