May Day Means Solidarity
May Day Means Solidarity
Today is May Day, or International Workers’ Day, the day the world celebrates the bravery of workers throughout history who have sacrificed for safety, dignity and justice on the job.
We’re united in our resolve to fight for a better future for ALL workers abroad and at home, including those targeted by the DOGE/Project 2025 Agenda.That includes our International Association of Sheet Metal, Air, Rail and Transportation Workers (SMART) brother Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was ripped away from his family in Maryland and sent to a prison in El Salvador, and our Service Employees International Union (SEIU) sister, Rümeysa Öztürk, taken while walking to dinner in Massachusetts and thrown into a detention center thousands of miles away.Neither of these workers committed a crime. Our solidarity is our strength. We take pride in knowing that we are a global movement standing up to the billionaires who are threatening our rights and freedoms. Here are a few important ways you can get involved this May Day:Find an event near you! Get involved and join the fight for a better future for workers. President Trump’s executive order to eliminate the collective bargaining rights of hundreds of thousands of federal workers is blatant union-busting. Fill out this form to call your representative and tell them to overturn this executive order by supporting the Protect America’s Workforce Act! Or dial 844-896-5059. DOGE is gutting the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), the agency that conducts job safety research on things like asbestos, lead and silica. This is a gift to corporations that want to slash worker protections to create more profits. Call your member of Congress and demand that they save NIOSH! Fill out this form to receive a call or dial 844-292-9097.Working people won’t allow billionaires to divide us based on where we’re from.This May Day, we’re standing together to send a message loud and clear across the country and the globe: We’re united in our resolve to fight for a better future for all workers.Thank you for getting involved.
