We have tools for local union leaders to build local coalitions for cross-union coordination around May Day and beyond.
Join workers from around the country on May Day to build higher ed workers’ coordinating capacity and demonstrate our power!
We are coordinating with May Day Strong. Under the banner of "Workers Over Billionaires," millions are expected to participate on May 1.
To succeed, we need local coordination and leadership. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to planning and implementing initiatives like these. We need leaders like you to help us shape a viable plan that is grounded in local conditions and linked to the national project.
May Day is not an end goal, but a vital chance to form a lasting coalition to fight for justice and fairness in our institutions and communities.
