Nationwide [#USA] May Day protests expected to pick up mantle of 'No Kings'
https://www.npr.org/2026/05/01/nx-s1-5805805/may-day-protests-boycott-schools-trumpfrom #NPR
May 1, 2026#MayDay #demonstrations are expected to draw crowds across the country on Friday, with organizers calling for a #boycott of work, school and shopping to #protest the #Trump administration's policies — and what activists describe as a billionaire takeover of government.
The "#MayDayStrong" protest events in various cities, ranging from Boston to San Francisco, are meant to mark #InternationalLaborDay. They follow anti-Trump protests under the "#NoKings" banner that organizers say have drawn millions of people nationwide.
Unlike the #Labor Day celebrations in the #US each September, May 1 has traditionally been reserved as a day of protest. In the US, May Day goes back to the 19th century movement to establish an 8-hour workday at a time when it wasn't unusual for Americans to work shifts of 12 hours or more.

Eight hours to work,
Eight hours to play,
Eight hours to sleep,
Eight bob a day.A fair day’s work,
For a fair day’s pay.This was the call of the Australian stonemasons who effectively struck in 1856 for reduced working hours. They won an eight hour day—no small feat at the time.

Happy #InternationalLabourDay !

One year ago, on #internationallaborday #mayday we launched Data Workers' Inquiry. The making of the project was messy and uncertain, but driven by the need to do research differently.
I wrote a reflection on what this first year taught us: https://data-workers.org/about/how-to-dwi/
Thanks for reading and for supporting this work.

#MayDay protesters will rally nationwide against the 'war on working people'
Emma Bowman, April 30, 2025
"Tens of thousands of protesters are expected to take to the streets nationwide on Thursday in May Day rallies opposing the #Trump administration.
"May Day, celebrated by workers across the globe as #InternationalLaborDay, occurs on May 1 each year. This year, activists in the U.S. aim to build on the momentum of recent widespread grassroots protests against policies implemented by the Trump administration.
"#AntiTrump protesters have expressed a range of concerns regarding the administration's recent actions, including the elimination of thousands of federal #jobs, #immigration raids, and billionaire Elon #Musk's involvement in downsizing the U.S. government.
"A protest against the Trump administration's 'war on #WorkingPeople'
"On May Day, protesters are honing their message to decry what they say are attacks on the working class and immigrants. Organizers for the effort, called #MayDayStrong, say the administration and its billionaire allies pose a threat to labor rights, public services, and the safety of immigrants regardless of their legal status. Organizers have stated their opposition to violent forms of protest.
"' This is a war on working people,' organizers said on the May Day Strong events web page.
" 'They're defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence,' they added. 'We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They've ruled for too long.'
"The White House did not immediately respond to NPR's request for comment.
"The U.S. does not officially observe the labor holiday, due to what historians say is an enduring resistance to working-class unity. Despite that resistance, America's working class has found ways to commemorate May Day since the 19th century."

Good morning Mastodonians! And now that we've all finished dancing 'round the May pole and frolicking in the grass, it's time to get down to the business of living, I guess, because it's also International Labor Day. And it's a LOVELY morning here, not too hot, blue sky, clean air after last night's rain. THIS is what a May morning should be.
How're all my friends & followers today?

"May Day, celebrated by workers across the globe as #InternationalLaborDay, falls on May 1.
But you'd be forgiven if that's news to you. While the day traces its origins to an American laborers' fight for a shorter work day, the US does not officially recognize International Labor Day...
US resistance to celebrate International Labor Day — aka #InternationalWorkersDay — in May stems from a resistance to emboldening worldwide working-class unity"
