On May Day, we will be marching in solidarity with Holyoke educators and with working people around the country. Help us build a powerful demonstration of the unity and power of the working class this May by co-sponsoring. Gather a contingent of your union or community organization members to participate!
What is May Day?
“May Day” or “International Workers Day,” is observed on May 1st and commemorates the struggles and wins throughout the history of the labor movement across the country and internationally. It’s time for us to recognize that we are part of the same history and same struggle as the workers who fought for the right to organize on behalf of their communities. We need to take collective action on May 1st in solidarity with the working class around the country in order to protect our rights.

Indivisible Mass Coalition explains the significance of these numbers.
“But So What? Does a Single-Day Demonstration Accomplish Anything at All?
In case you were wondering about that, the brilliant Ash-Lee Henderson of the Highland Center, shared these insights:
1.A mobilization of millions of people makes the scale of opposition visible to everyone: to the participants, to the uncommitted middle, and to the opposition. It does what digital campaigns, legal briefs, or everyday tactics like phone-banking or door-knocking or any behind-the-scenes actions can’t do.
2. It transforms private discontent into public identity. Up until No Kings, “I am against discriminatory laws and practices,” “I am against the use of fossil fuels,” “I am against endless wars” were individual grievances; we said these things in our individual capacities, not as WE. No Kings demonstrations have shifted our individual values and private discontents into an opportunity to define WHO AND WHAT IS AMERICA? moving forward. They are our opportunity to redefine who gets to be included when we talk about “liberty and justice for all.” No Kings demonstrations have been overwhelmingly joyous because participants know that they are not just angry alone, and not just grieving alone. The demonstrations are the raw material for sustained organizing.
3. These massive one-day demonstrations throughout the country – and world! – shift the calculus for elites. Skeptics say, “We’re spending millions of dollars on these protests. Why aren’t we just giving the money to grass-roots-based organizations?” But when millions of people come together to say “No,” every institution from corporations, to military leadership, to swing district electeds, has to recalculate what compliance costs them.
Does a single-day protest replace organizing, or base-building, or lobbying? Does it replace advocacy or direct service or mutual aid or any of these things? Of course the answer to those questions is “no.” But the important question for us is: Can you build and sustain a non-cooperation campaign withouta mass demonstration phase? Historically, we can say no. You can’t skip it. It’s infrastructure. Mass protests are not just spectacle, not just just trying to prove something to skeptics. These protests are “an embodied invitation” to everyone to come be a part of something that is bigger than us.“
Miss Indivisible Massachusetts Coalition’s Statewide Call about next Steps?
Shout out against Trump’s illegal power-grab that’s stepping on our rights, militarizing our streets, waging war and harming our ecomony.
Bring a sign, a friend to Littleton Common to show the hundreds of passersby that we’ll not willing give up our constitutional rights and capitulate to Trump, his billionaire buddies and syncophant enablers.

Help us to create Trump’s (Side)Walk of Shame. Inspired by the “Honk if you aren’t in the Epstein files” signs, we realized we could do sooo much more with that. We will be creating a (Side)Walk of Shame. At the beginning and end of the line we will have a sign for the “Trump (Side)Walk of Shame”, next to these and in a few more spots, will be “Honk if you…” signs, so you don’t have to write that part out-making your message quicker to read. Call out Trump’s lifetime of bad behaviors, give a year to the event if you can. EX: “…never bombed Iran, 2026: “; “…weren’t sued for refusing to rent to minorities, 1976; “…never said you would date your daughter, 2006”.
