3 historic movements organizing race + class together:

→ 1870s Farmers Alliance
→ 1920s–30s Communist Party
→ Black Panthers + multiracial allies

2 principles guide this work:

1) Workers' rights + civil rights, organized together.
2) Sharp analysis of how race shapes workers' experiences — and organizing around it.

Workers' rights. Civil rights. It’s the same fight.

The news cycle moves fast, but we're moving faster. ☕

We're launching The People's Tea. It's a biweekly, virtual power hour where People's Action staff, members, and friends come together to make sense of the chaos, swap notes, and decide what we're going to do about it.

🗓 First session: Wed, Sept 9 at 8 PM ET
📋 Topic: The State of Working Class America: Corporate greed, the affordability crisis, HR 1 & billionaire greed, hospital closures, and Medicare for All.

It's judgment-free, beginner-friendly, and 60 minutes from your couch.

Most of us have felt that moment of shock at the register when the total is higher than you expected. Or the frustration when your rent increase that wipes out a raise you fought hard for. Or the desperation, facing a choice between filling up the car and filling the fridge.

Under President Trump, the average U.S. household has now spent $3,500+ more on goods and services than before he took office.

Billionaires are getting tax cuts. Working families are getting squeezed.

We know what's coming: Attacks on our communities, our rights, our democracy.

And we know the only way through is together.

That’s why this Labor Day, May Day Strong is hosting 750+ trainings and actions across the country, so that we can build up:

⚡ A shared analysis of fascism and corporate power
⚡ Tools to spot misinformation in real time
⚡ A playbook for elections and what's coming next
⚡ The strategy to make billionaires pay what they owe

Our theory of change is simple: organized people have to beat organized money. Solidarity Schools are how we get there.

A political party tries to court your vote.
An authoritarian regime tries to keep you from voting.

Trump's USPS plan targets the same communities who have always been told their votes don't count as much: Black and Brown voters, new Americans, disabled voters, women, trans Americans, rural and working-class voters.

This regime wants to keep specific groups from voting so they can seize more power and decide our futures for us.

We refuse.

Hands off our vote. We decide our future. We choose our leaders.

🚨 FREE TRAININGS TONIGHT + TOMORROW. Don't miss them.

May Day Strong — a coalition of more than 500 labor and community organizations — is hosting virtual trainings this week to help us skill up before the next wave of billionaire-backed attacks.

🌙 TONIGHT — 8pm ET / 5pm PT
Learn how to identify campaign targets, build pressure, and hold corporations accountable for backing the billionaire agenda.

🌅 TOMORROW — 8pm ET / 5pm PT
Take on fascism and racial capitalism. Name them, trace the corporate and political decision makers bankrolling both, and lock in the cross-community, cross-union strategy it takes to stop them.

And if you'd rather skill up in person:

✊ HOST a solidarity school in your community. May Day Strong provides everything you need — curriculum, promo materials, the works. Anyone can host one.

🗳️ LEARN to deep canvass this Saturday with People's Action Institute. Build the skill to engage across differences and preserve a democracy where we all have a say.

The billionaire elite is betting we won't show up. Let's prove them wrong.

Trump told our communities to shut up and "let data reign" or be called "backwards and poor."

We refuse.

Because the real "Golden Goose" he won't name is the tech billionaires and utility monopolies getting tax breaks while:

💧 One data center can drain 5 MILLION gallons of water a day
⚡ YOUR utility bill goes up to feed their servers
👷 The promised jobs? Data centers are among the most automated facilities on the planet.

The good news:

In Indiana, Hoosier Action + 26 groups just demanded a moratorium.
In New York, the first state pause just happened.
$130 BILLION in projects were blocked or delayed by local opposition in just the first 3 months of this year.

Drop a 🔥 if your community is fighting back. Tag a neighbor.
