Thousands in US to join ‘no school, no work, no shopping’ May Day protest in economic blackout | Protest (US)
Thousands will join a May Day economic blackout with “no school, no work, no shopping” protests across the U.S. In Manhattan, Amazon workers and Teamsters marched against ICE contracts; in D.C., protesters demanded taxing the rich. The May Day Strong coalition—including unions, immigrants’ rights groups, and the DSA—aims to build toward a general strike. Teachers and students are key participants, with districts in North Carolina and Chicago supporting walkouts. Organizers call it a “structure test” for non-cooperation, seeking to amplify worker power.
