MAY DAY
5/1/26
A Day of NO WORK, NO SCHOOL, NO BUSINESS as USUAL
A DAY to DEMAND:
TRUMP MUST GO NOW!
TRUMP IS A DANGER TO THE FUTURE OF HUMANITY—shredding basic rights and the rule of law here and around the world. THERE IS NO LIVING WITH THIS FASCIST REGIME.
TRUMP threatened to destroy an entire civilization. That threat itself is a war crime. A ruler who threatens to wipe out a country and a civilization cannot remain in power another day.
And yet the streets of this country have been far too quiet as humanity is held hostage by a fascist regime that is genocidal, hell-bent on destroying the environment and which every day is bolting into place a white supremacist, theocratic, patriarchal, immigrant-bashing, science-denying, fascist America.
Every day of business as usual normalizes this and paves the way for further horrors. To stay home, to do nothing, to limit your outrage to social media and “like” the outrage of others is to accept the unacceptable.
This May Day must be a day of no business as usual—walking out of work and school and taking to the streets in nonviolent protest to raise the demand TRUMP MUST GO NOW. That is how we draw a clear line: In the name of humanity, we refuse to accept a fascist America.
This is not a time for Democratic Party midterm “affordability” politics. Shrinking the existential threat of the Trump Fascist Regime down to “kitchen table concerns” is like saying the German people should have demanded a better standard of living under Hitler. And even Hitler did not openly threaten to eradicate an entire country and civilization.
Right now, a fascist regime in power stands in the way of any chance at a decent future for humanity. The people of this country have a responsibility to act to stop it.
This regime will not be stopped by waiting for a midterm election that they are actively rigging. No one should believe that a tyrant who incited—and then pardoned—the January 6th insurrectionists will respect any election he loses.
You will not stop it by relying on the Democratic Party – who along with Israel carried out a genocide in Gaza and reduces opposition to the war on Iran to procedural complaints. Worse than delusional, this outlook becomes complicity in the continuing slaughter in the illegitimate war on Iran.
THE TRUMP FASCIST REGIME MUST BE DRIVEN FROM POWER – NOW!
This is possible. Millions of us feel in our bones that the world is being torn asunder and do not want to accept a Trump fascist America. We should recognize that those who rule in every institution of government are sharply and irreconcilably divided including that there are those in power who deeply despise what is happening yet are not acting accordingly. It is up to the many millions of people who do see the present existential danger to act now and make the demand TRUMP MUST GO NOW! — felt everywhere from the top to the bottom of this country.
