Our original post from April 3 is below if you need a reminder of why we’re taking action, or want to forward to a friend.

April 3 – Last weekend, we rallied 8 million strong in cities and towns from coast to coast to coast for No Kings 3. Our demands were clear: No ICE, No War, No Kings – and bring down the fossil fueled fascist billionaires who threaten our climate and communities.

If you missed it, there was a fantastic debrief and wrap up call earlier this week, and at that very same call it was announced that the next big mission for the No Kings coalition is to organize for May Day (May 1) 2026 – a day with no work, no school, and no shopping to bring down the regime, grind the economy to a halt, and put workers over billionaires.

If you’re ready to join us:

• If not, click here to join our mass call on Thursday April 9 at 7pm ET / 4pm, &/or go ahead and throw an event up on the map, we’ll support you with materials, outreach and more.

We should live in a country that puts workers over fossil fueled billionaire fascists. But right now, families are being forced to choose between groceries and rent, while billionaires rig the rules to protect their power and fossil fuels profit off of war and destruction.

That’s why May 1, 2026 will be a coordinated national day of action. From the fight for the eight-hour workday, to the 2006 Day Without Immigrants, to last year’s massive anti-billionaire Earth Day to May Day charge, May Day has always been about workers organizing together to shift power. This year, we carry that tradition forward.

Together we will say: No School. No Work. No Shopping.

This isn’t a symbolic protest like No Kings, where the intention is to show how many people oppose the regime. That’s important. But May Day is a show of force. When fossil fuel fascists seize power, we can’t continue to operate as if everything is normal. We have to escalate and create disruption – even if it means taking on risk: to our safety, our paycheck, or our social standing. We have to stop being polite and shut things down to make our demands are clear:

• Tax the rich.
• No ICE. No War. No fossil fueled fascists.
• Expand democracy, not corporate power. There is no climate action without free and fair elections.

Millions of us are already taking action, moving together, and building toward May Day. Join us today and choose how you’ll participate: No Work, No School, No Shopping; joining a local action; or come to the call next week and help us spread the word.
