Tomorrow could be an inflection point for the fight back against the Trump/Musk regime, as labor and grassroots groups stage over 1,300 May Day events across the country, some of which are likely to be more disruptive than the protests we’ve seen so far.
Organizers say some protests in major cities will likely end up blocking traffic, and that there may be some acts of civil disobedience as well.
“It’ll be a sort of different tone than some of the previous actions,” said Saqib Bhatti, executive director of Bargaining for the Common Good, one of the organizations on the steering committee for the May Day National Day of Action.
“Our goal is to make clear that there will be no business as usual while they’re causing a crisis in our communities. We’re going to take the crisis to their doorsteps,” Bhatti told me.
It will also be a trial run for the kind of nationwide general strike that many activists are hoping will be the next major step in the resistance.
I’ll be there!

Hmm … the distribution is interesting regionally. Austin was a given, but San Antonio is apparently not on the list, while Kerrville, Dripping Springs and Lockhart are. These are small cities deep in the heart of red country.
Press on!
