May Day Strong mobilizes nationwide 'no work, no shopping, no school' protests

May Day Strong is a broad coalition of unions, Democratic Socialists of America chapters, pro-democracy groups and issue organizations organizing hundreds of May 1 actions nationwide to disrupt business as usual with “no work, no shopping, no school,” protesting the Trump administration policies and pushing for workers’ power while signaling a longer-term goal of a 2028 general strike via coordinated contract timing; organizers note this year is not a general strike, but builds toward mass action with planning tools from CTU, NEA and allied groups, and emphasize May Day’s history as a working-class political vehicle.
