2025 May Day National Day of Action

On May 1, 2025, in over 100 cities across the country, we will honor the legacy of the workers who gave everything for the labor protections like the eight-hour workday—and we will carry their struggle into today’s fight for a country and an economy that serves the many, not the few. This is not about commemorating the past. We are building the future.

About the National Day of Action

Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up

We are laborers, parents, immigrants, educators, students, and neighbors demanding stronger, safer, and more dignified communities. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness. This is May Day.
