On Saturday, February 21, we co-led a powerful May Day Solidarity School! Held at Murry Bergtraum High School, we were thrilled to be joined by hundreds of allies from labor and community organizing. This was an opportunity to build a shared analysis, develop participants’ skills, and continue to cohere the forces necessary for an effective May Day 2026. Topics covered during the session included: threat analysis, building community-labor alignments, and how to incorporate a “Workers over Billionaires” framework into organizing conversations. We look forward to hosting more sessions in the lead up to May Day 2026 and continuing to build power for our communities!
