May Day March

SIGN UP HERE to join the Coalition to Fight for our Health and Lives at noon on May 1st at City Hall (Broadway & Murray St) in NYC, calling on City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams to 1. Abolish the 24-hour workday 2. Fight for quality healthcare for all 3. Stop displacement

SIGN UP HERE to join our HEALTHCARE CONTINGENT to Rally & March at a mass May Day mobilization with unions and community organizations in Foley Square at 5PM to fight back against the billionaire agenda! Meet us at the Story Corp booth, VIEW MAP HERE.
Let us know if you will volunteer during the rally to help hand out flyers explaining the benefits of the NY Health Act for workers and their unions & urge them to take action in support!

WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. SOMOS MÁS.

May Day is a call to action to rise up against billionaire exploitation and corporate domination. An attack on one is an attack on us all. Workers, immigrants, tenants, patients, parents, students, and community members will rise from every corner of the country to fight for dignity, justice, and public investment in our lives – not billionaire empires. One struggle, one fight, all workers unite!

This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, cutting and denying our healthcare, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won’t back down—we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that propel opportunity and a better life for everyone living in the United States. Their time is up.

MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY!

We are in the midst of a national emergency. As billionaires scheme their way into our government, hoard wealth, exploit working people, and slash jobs and resources in the process, working people across the country are coming together in the face of a national crisis to declare: One Struggle, One Fight, All Workers Unite!

TOGETHER WE WILL STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. 

Working people power this country. WE keep our communities running. We are coming together to demand all hands on deck to fight for our collective rights, safety and futures!

Join us on May 1st!
