Benicia Independent to go dark on May 1

MAY DAY STRONG 2026

ABOUT MAY DAY STRONG…

Friday May 1st, 2026 will be a Workers Over Billionaires national day of action. Workers, students, and 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,
    • No ICE. No war. No private army serving authoritarian power.
    • Expand democracy. Hands off our vote.

Following the examples of the 2006 Day Without Immigrants, Black-led corporate campaigns that have unseated CEOs, and Minnesota’s resistance to occupation, thousands of organizations across the country are calling for a day of “No School, No Work, No Shopping” to disrupt the violent billionaire takeover of our country and to put working families first. Because when the billionaires break every rule, it’s going to take more than a rally to stop them. Together we show where real power lives in this country: with workers, not billionaires.

Share the pledge
and help build power for May Day 2026.
