#MayDay Means #Resistance
A Call to Take Action on #May1st
This May Day, gather in defiance of tyranny and oppression. Gather to create communities based in solidarity and mutual aid. Gather with everyone who wants a better life. Gather to honor those who fought before us. Gather to show that another world is possible.
#CrimethInc, 2025-04-08
"As May Day 2025 approaches, we face an increasingly grim situation. Donald Trump and his lackeys are restructuring the state, redirecting even more resources towards repression and filling their pockets along the way. They are already deporting students on the basis of their political views and they have made it clear that they intend to escalate to deporting US citizens as well. All the while, the ecological damage, climate disasters, wars, and genocides that were already in progress are only intensifying.
"While some are laying low, hoping that the tide will turn, that is a terrible mistake. How far this nightmare can go will be determined by what people do now to build movements of resistance. The more time passes, the firmer #Trump’s grip on the institutions will be, and the better positioned he will be to expand and intensify repression. Even if Trump’s ill-thought-out policies alone suffice to turn the majority of the population against him, that will not answer the question of how to push him out of power—he has already shown that he will not leave office willingly. It also will not ensure that what comes after will be any better. Remember, we ended up in this situation because of the catastrophic reign of the #Biden administration.
There’s no way around it: we have to build powerful grassroots movements through which to defend each other and popularize a radical analysis of what we are up against.
"May Day offers a perfect occasion for this. For nearly a century and a half, anarchists and other revolutionaries have observed it as a day of celebration and resistance. Tapping into this longstanding tradition offers many reference points for what we can do right now.
"Wherever you are, you can do something for May Day. Better yet, organize a week of events, including education, mutual aid, arts and entertainment, and a march or demonstration."

Demand restoration of what's been taken from us!
Anything less leaves us caught in the cycle of oppression, exploitation, and destruction, all for the benefit of the elite owner class at the expense of the biosphere and our lives and freedom.
Let's get real folks!
We've got to dig down to the roots.
Cutting down one mushroom will not kill the mycelial network!
We'll be at May Day on the 4th May! Stall from 10:30am, marching at Noon. See you there, Fremantle Esplanade.
What are you all doing for May Day? I’m especially interested if you live in the occupied Tohono O‘odham and Pascua Yaqui land which we call Tucson. I’m learning about the old anarchist holiday and how to observe.

The ruling class is tightening its grip—busting unions, criminalizing protest, and pushing us to the brink. But the story of #MayDay reminds us: the working class has always fought back. In a time of rising repression, worker #solidarity isn’t nostalgia—it’s survival.

Der Ausdruck "Mayday" ist das internationale Notsignal im Sprechfunk. Es hat seinen Ursprung nicht etwa in einem Tag im Mai, sondern im Französischen: "M'aidez!" - "Helft mir!".
#HandsOff has been an amazing success!

May Day is coming up, we have a local event in Eugene that Sunday which is looking to be very well organized and well attended. I'm thinking to hand out flyers at the big April 5 protest coming up this weekend.
What's happening in your neck of the woods? https://time.com/3836834/may-day-labor-history/ #labor #MayDay

If we want to preserve our democracy, protect the earth and defend targeted groups, we'll need to be out in the streets a lot in the coming months. Think of each march as a moving meditation, each protest as a sacred act. In the words of the Street Activists’ Blessing: May you be in the right place, at the right time, in the right way, with the health, the protection, the support, the wisdom, the information, the companions, and the luck you need to do the work. See you in the streets!
