A national coalition of some 200 organizations nationwide is focusing on “economic justice, labor rights and immigrant rights” and is “urging a day of no work, no school, and no shopping to challenge corporate power.”
Note that on 1/23, 300 businesses closed in Minneapolis, 700 in the state, and 50,000 to 100,000 protested in the streets. May 1 is a repeat of what was done in Minnesota, building towards an even bigger action in the Fall.

Because when the billionaires break every rule, it’s going to take more than a rally to stop them.
**Our Demands for May 1st**
– Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first.
– ICE Out. No private army serving unchecked federal power.
– Expand democracy, not corporate power. Defend free and fair elections.
Together we will be flexing our collective muscle in a tremendous day of power – showing our unity through a day of **No Work No School No Shopping.**
Join as as together we celebrate May 1st through action and community.
Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
