JB Pritzker called for "mass protests, for mobilization, for disruption." May Day -- tomorrow --may be all that. www.headsupnews.org/p/may-day-ra... #maydaystrong
🚨Today is May Day — a global day of worker resistance. These historic protests are led by May Day Strong - a coalition of workers, immigrants, students, and grassroots organizers from across the country. 50501 is not the sole organizer, we are proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with May Day Strong.
May Day is not officially acknowledged in the U.S. because of what historians say is an ongoing resistance to unity among the working class. This resistance is prompting protesters to take action on Thursday, regardless.
Our new site, “Funding for Climate Justice: Sharing Successes, Defending Our Wins”, is now live! Check it out for an overview of federal climate investments as well as **publicly available resources, news, and tips for protecting these historic investments.**
