May Day Actions 2026

All across the country with many actions taking place in NYS

May 1 will be a coordinated day of action where we are demanding:

• 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.

Thousands of organizations across the country are calling for a day of “No School, No Work, No Shopping” to disrupt 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.  

We are excited for you to join us in making this day a reality, and hosting an action where your neighbors can gather to make our voices heard.
