Take Action

Congress is currently re-negotiating the federal budget bill for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). One of the demands put forward by the Congressional Hispanic Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus for this new budget is to reinstate “sensitive locations” - meaning that our schools, places of worship, and hospitals would be protected from immigration enforcement on their premises. A long recognized practice to promote public safety, “sensitive locations” status was stripped by the Trump administration in 2025.

In this bill we have an opportunity to start winning limitations to ICE's overreach.

Our members of Congress need to hear their constituents loud and clear: don't agree to any budget that allows ICE activity at schools, ever.

Trump illegally seized billions in education funds. Secretary Linda McMahon is dismantling the Department of Education. Congress is voting on devastating cuts. This is the authoritarian playbook: destroy democratic institutions, eliminate civic spaces, silence dissent. BUT history teaches us that authoritarian attacks fail when communities organize collective refusal.

If you are a parent, student, concerned community member, this is the moment.

Get involved!

May Day Strong will be coordinating the training, structure tests and vision-building required to launch nationwide economic non cooperation including boycotts, direct action and strikes and awaken people’s vision for what we can accomplish together.

May 1st, 2026 will be a Workers Over Billionaires national day of action. 

Workers, students, families will be marching, rallying, training, walking out and taking action together to demand:

  • Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first.

  • ICE Out. No private army serving authoritarian power.

  • Expand democracy, not corporate power. Defend free and fair elections.

We are excited for you to join us as an official May Day Strong partner. We amplify each other's aligned work, share a strategic direction and together will demand a world that works for all of us.
