Tomorrow GENERAL STRIKE..... MAY DAY/Indivisible [View all]

General Strike...May Day!!! Indivisible is promoting it on Friday, May 1st
"A national day of action and "general strike" is planned for Friday, May 1, 2026, on International Workers' Day, under the banner of "[May Day Strong]". Organizers are calling for "No Work, No School, No Shopping" to protest economic conditions, corporate power, and to demand worker protections, tax reform, and immigrant rights.

Key Details for May 1, 2026:
Actions: Rallies, protests, and walkouts are expected in thousands of cities across the U.S..
Goals: The coalition, including groups like [Indivisible] and labor organizers, aims to highlight an "affordability crisis" and advocate for "workers over billionaires".
Demands: Key issues include taxing the rich, curbing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) actions, and opposing U.S. involvement in foreign wars.
Participation: The action encourages consumers to avoid spending money and workers to participate in walkouts to disrupt "business as usual".

Spread the word. We need to make the GOP take notice and hitting them in their money belts is necessary. They live for $$$$$$$$$ so DO NOT support them!
