May Day Strong: No Work, No School, No Shopping
On **May 1 (International Workers’ Day)**, that looks like:

– **No work**
– **No school**
– **No shopping**
If you can’t be in the streets, you can still participate: stay home, don’t work, don’t shop.

The goal is to shift from mobilizing to organizing, so we are ready to respond when it matters: to ICE activity in our communities, to attacks on elections, to the ongoing consolidation of power by the Trump regime and its allies.

This builds on a long history: the 2006 Day Without Immigrants, Black-led campaigns that have forced corporate change, and recent local resistance efforts. When people act together, it shifts what’s possible.

Workers, students, and families across the country are taking action together to demand:

– Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first
– ICE out: no unchecked federal enforcement power in our communities
– Expand democracy, not corporate control; defend free and fair elections

**RSVP to pledge your participation in this nationwide day of noncooperation**

... for not participating, the other clients' pups need a walk.

But I filled my tank earlier this week and made sure I'm set with supplies. No shopping. No streaming services.
