Join us as we prepare ourselves for the National May 1st May Day Shutdown and the critical work of resistance that lies ahead – to say NO to this administrations policies of cruelty, injustice and violence.

Let’s ground ourselves in our spiritual traditions and humanitarian values,
connect together our diverse communities of care, and
strengthen our hearts, bodies and spirits

Click here for some short history lessons about boycotts and shutdowns that have had real impact. It takes time, discipline and organization, but nonviolent mass strikes have been successful time and again! Let’s build to together!

The stated goal of this May Day Strike isn’t to solve everything. The organizers know that we don’t have the level of coordination and participation required for that . . . yet. The goal is to start building our muscles for the immense general strike that will be necessary to get us out of the mess of authoritarianism.

So let’s strengthen our spiritual muscles and foster networks of trust and care.
