This May Day, My Eden Voice stands in solidarity with workers, immigrants, students, and families across the Bay Area and the country taking collective action for dignity, safety, and justice.
On May 1st, 2026, communities nationwide are rising for a Workers Over Billionaires day of action. This is to disrupt business as usual and demand a future where our families come before corporate profits and political power.
We honor the call for No Work, No School, No Shopping as a collective act of resistance rooted in a long history, from international workers day, to the Day Without Immigrants in 2006, to Minnesota’s resistance to ICE.
These actions remind us that real change has always come from organized people power.
Across the country, people are taking action to demand:
- Tax the rich so our communities can thrive
- No ICE, no war, no private forces that harm our communities
- Expanded democracy and protection of our right to vote
At a time when billionaires and systems of power continue to shape policies that harm working families, we know that change will not come from waiting. It comes from people moving together, refusing to comply with injustice, and building something better.
MEV believes that real safety and stability come from investment in our communities: housing, education, and healthcare, not surveillance, punishment, or fear.
We encourage our community to join local actions, talk with neighbors, and take part in building collective power.
Whether that means not working, not shopping, walking out, showing up, or supporting others – every action contributes to a larger movement.
May Day is also grounded in a commitment to nonviolent action, community care, and de-escalation. This is how we protect each other while building a future rooted in justice.
Because when we move together, we remind the world where real power lives: with the people, not billionaires.
In Solidarity,
The My Eden Voice Team
