You've seen plenty of news about attacks on working people in the past year. ICE raids, attacks on unions, and foreign wars are all examples of what the working class must unite to resist. This May, we're asking you to join the fight as workers, immigrants, and migrants unite at Seattle's 2026 May Day rally and march!
We're joining a national day of action calling for No Work, No School, and No Shopping on May 1, 2026. Together we want to send these three messages:
- Communities, Not ICE
- Workers, Not Billionaires
- Services, Not War
May Day – International Workers’ Day – is a day born from the labor struggles of working people right here in the United States, a powerful National Day of Action uniting labor, immigrants, and community organizations in the streets.
Seattle has a proud and living history of workers and communities taking collective action, and May Day 2026 is our moment to stand together under the banner of “Join the Fight! Workers, Migrants, and Immigrants Unite!”
Our partner organizations are hosting activism events in the weeks leading up to this year’s May Day event. Learn more about them at the links below and attend if you’d like to be more involved in our fight.
