Earlier today, Payday Report published a map highlighting growing support for the May Day General Strike movement. (See our story "No Kings” Organizers & Indivisible Pivot to May Day General Strike.")
After "No Kings", Indivisible, one of the lead organizers of the protest, is pivoting to building support for the May Day Strong walkouts and actions. Indivisible, along with other organizations in the May Day Strong coalition—including labor unions and community groups—intends to use their large email lists and organizing networks for May Day Strong. The coalition is calling for "No Work, No School, No Shopping" on May 1st.
Dozens of unions and labor groups across the United States have backed the movement, and the number is expected to grow in the coming weeks. To track the growing movement, Payday Report has created a map tracking which unions and labor groups are backing the May Day General Strike call.
Corporate media is ignoring the growing May Day Strong strike movement, so it's crucial that a worker-funded outlet like Payday Report change the narrative.
During the pandemic, The Washington Post credited Payday Report with being the first news organization to systematically track the strike wave. Now, we need your help to show the growing May Day strike movement in the United States.
During the Minnesota General Strike in January, Payday Report was one of the first publications to cover how a call by 5 unions would likely grow into a bigger movement. The corporate media, at first, ignored the growing support for the Minnesota General Strike, downplaying its likelihood to succeed.
However, on January 23rd, Minneapolis went out on a general strike with support from major labor federations across the state. Over 100,000 marched in -30 temperatures as major school districts, and at least 700 businesses closed across Minnesota. More than 300 solidarity actions were held nationwide, according to Payday Report’s strike tracker.
At least 23% of Minnesota voters said either they or a loved one participated in the strike in some way, according to a survey of 1,900 registered Minnesota voters conducted by Blue Rose Research for the May Day Strong coalition. The coalition consists of various labor and community organizations advocating for a mass nationwide walkout on May 1st that is expected to grow in the coming days.
We believe something big is building around May Day, and it's crucial that we track this growing movement so others are inspired to get involved. Donate today to help us track it.
