***This is an updated number and it's growing rapidly. 250 more protests have been organized since last Friday (April 25). AND this is for a mid-week protest!

for May Day. There are many events scheduled for May 1(Thurs), May 3 (Sat) and May 4 (Sun).

"This is a war on working people—and we will not back down. 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. Their time is up. And May Day is just the beginning. We will build a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status."

STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER.

WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW.



** I just received another great source from a DUer...CHECK IT OUT!

* I also post updates and new info (when I am able to get it) in the Activist Headquarters forum. I'm sure there will be even more events as we get closer to this date. I do not have social media accounts, unless you consider DU as one, so I have to search/Google, etc which can be a little "slow". A lot of these 50501 planned protests are being shared on Fakebook, X, whatever. If you use social media you can get your local dates/plans faster and share them with others who are resisters.
