Why We March
We are rising for workers, for immigrants, and for our future.
We are rising against a “Billionaire Agenda” that is bleeding our communities dry while billionaires buy yachts, politicians, and power. In just 100 days of the Trump administration, we’ve already witnessed:
Attacks on Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and education
Attacks on immigrants, trans people, and communities of color
Move to give Tax breaks to the ultra-rich while working families struggle to survive
But we are not alone, and we are not powerless.
People are rising together—across race, immigration status, gender, and geography—to demand a country that invests in working families, not billionaire profits.
This May Day, we unite for:
An end to billionaire control and political corruption
Fully funded schools, healthcare, and housing
Protection and expansion of Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, and services for our Veterans, Seniors, and care givers
Respect, safety, and rights for Black, Indigenous, immigrant, LGBTQIA+, and our disabled communities
Strong unions, fair wages, and dignity for all workers
And we do it nonviolently—with courage, compassion, and clarity. Every May Day host and participant is committed to peace, de-escalation, and collective power.
This is your invitation. Not just to witness history—but to make it.
Join us this May Day. March beside your neighbors, your coworkers, your classmates. Stand up for what is right. Speak out for who is ignored. And never forget—when we rise together, we win together.
With fierce resolve and people power,
