May 1st - What Can You NOT Do?

School? NO! Work? NO! Shopping? NO! Disruption? YES!

On May Day, 5/1, we’re gearing up for the nationwide day of economic disruption. Thousands of organizations across the country are calling for this day of disruption to protest the violent billionaire takeover of our country and to put working families first. Because when the billionaires break every rule, it’s going to take more than a rally to stop them.

First engage in the disruption, then join a May Day gathering to demand:

• Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first.
• ICE Out. No private army serving authoritarian power.
• Expand democracy, not corporate power.
• Defend free and fair elections not a rigged disaster.

Why Take Action on May Day?

We want our tax dollars to go to schools and housing, not to sending federal agents into our cities to attack and kill our neighbors. No one should live under ICE violence or militarized occupation, period. Our tax dollars should fund stability and care, not occupation and repression.

Democracy should work for working people, not billionaire interests.While working families are stretched to the brink, billionaires and corporations are posting record profits and hoarding the wealth our labor creates. That money should be funding housing, schools, healthcare, and the public goods that make life livable.

The Corporations and the ultra-rich have rigged the system and it won’t get un-rigged unless working people take big actions together. Corporations and the ultra-wealthy are rigging the rules to protect their power and shut the rest of us out. A government captured by billionaire interests will not solve a crisis that benefits them without us making it.

Organized people are the only force that has ever stopped authoritarian takeovers and changed the rules to work for working people. Those who profit from a rigged system will not voluntarily give it up. When working people move together, we can defend our communities, protect our rights, and force the government to put our families over their fortunes.

After you flex those economic muscles, join a gathering. More may be coming, and right now we know about this action in Williston.
