More info to come about the Nevada City Mayday Demo The Mayday general strike is a nationwide labor and political action on May 1, 2026, calling for “No Work, No School, No Shopping” to protest government policies favoring billionaires over workers. The Mayday general strike, organized by groups including Indivisible and the May Day Strong coalition, is part of the broader No Kings movement opposing authoritarian policies and economic inequality in the United States. Scheduled for May 1, 2026, the strike aims to mobilize workers, students, and families across the country to demonstrate collective power and demand a government that prioritizes communities over billionaires. AnneLandmanBlog.com+3 Purpose and Goals The strike is designed as a tactical escalation beyond traditional protests, emphasizing an economic show of force. Participants are encouraged to refuse work, school, and shopping, signaling that ordinary people can challenge systemic power structures. The goals include: naked capitalism+1 Advocating for workers’ rights and economic justice Opposing authoritarian government policies Promoting expanded democracy and community investment Resisting private armies, ICE enforcement, and militarized policing 2 2 Sources Organizers and Support Key organizers include Indivisible co-founders Ezra Levin and Leah Greenberg, who have previously led the No Kings protests, which drew millions nationwide.

Fight real antisemitism. Protect Palestinian human rights. The two are not mutually exclusive.
Trump is using a definition of antisemitism that dangerously conflates antisemitism with criticism of Israel — to silence pro-Palestinian speech, subpoena universities, cut university funding, and detain people for exercising their First Amendment rights.
California’s AB 715, a 2025 antisemitism law, indirectly uses that same definition: the IHRA definition. If left unchanged, AB 715 could be weaponized in similar ways to how Trump is using it nationally.
AB 2159 helps to fix. It would:
Remove the indirect reference to the IHRA definition so criticism of Israeli policy isn’t treated as antisemitism
Require the Antisemitism Coordinator to be a qualified, merit-based hire — not a political appointee
Eliminate vague language that lets politically motivated groups file complaints against teachers who discuss Palestinian culture and rights
But AB 2159 first needs to move out of the Rules Committee, then make its way through committee to the Assembly floor. We need people making calls at every step of the way.
Real antisemitism — rooted in white nationalist ideology — is a serious threat. The same movement driving antisemitism is attacking LGBTQ+ people, erasing histories of communities of color, dismantling DEIA, promoting Islamophobia and anti-Arab racism, and supporting the genocide of Palestinians in Gaza. We have to fight all of it. We cannot do that with a law that equates advocacy for Palestinian human rights with antisemitism.
We want to make sure everyone knows about tomorrow’s International Day of Al-Quds rally happening right here in Sacramento.
📅 Friday, March 13th
🕓 4:00 PM
📍 16th & J St., Sacramento, CA
This is a global day of action — with simultaneous events in cities from Atlanta to Johannesburg to Tokyo — calling for an end to the occupation, apartheid, and the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
As Jewish Voice for Peace, our presence at actions like this matters. We show up to stand in solidarity, to make clear that Jewish people across the world reject the conflation of Judaism with Zionism and the crimes being carried out in our name.
We hope to see you there. Bring signs, bring friends, and bring your voice.

Chair of the Palestine Task Force Nor Calif/Nev Annual Conference UMC
Palestinian-American with relatives in Gaza
Recent returnee from delegation of International Solidarity Movement in West Bank

Faith leaders from other churches and religious traditions Hosted by Church and Society Committee of Nevada City United Methodist (For further information, see reverse side, or call 530 263 5026) Purpose of this event: That churches, other faith groups, and the secular activist community learn from each other, and engage in complementary action for freedom and justice for Palestine. Questions, Discussion, Written Information to Address These Subjects:
What sources can one trust to know the truth about current realities in Israel, Gaza, West Bank?
What do Methodists and other faith groups have to say about Palestine, Israel, and Genocide?
What are the actions faith communities are doing and could be doing to bring justice and peace there?
What does Palestine have to do with Climate Change, Racism, Immigrant justice, and other places of injustice?
How do BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) in general and the Chevron Boycott in particular connect the issues?
How does one turn “concern” into action for Palestinians, ending genocide and ethnic cleansing, and, ultimately support actual peace and justice for all in the region? ( i.e. What can we actually do about it?)
How can statements and resolutions from higher level faith leaders and conferences which condemn violence or support efforts for Palestine gain life and effectiveness in the local church or community at the “grass-roots” level?
Answer: The Israeli Occupation Forces (IDF). Wondering why ICE operations in our cities are looking so much like Israeli pogroms in the occupied West Bank or even the Gaza genocide?

We Stand Together: Nevada County Unites Against Fear and Division
The unlawful and escalating attacks on immigrant communities by the Trump administration are not just policy—they are part of a deliberate effort to spread fear, silence dissent, and divide our communities. Their goal is convince those with more security that if they just stay silent, they will be spared.
The people of Nevada County reject division and fear. We know the truth: no group is expendable, and no one is to blame for the hardships we face.
We stand together to protect our neighbors, our families, and our community from any attacks by the Department of Homeland Security or any other group or individual. You can’t claim solidarity behind closed doors and silence on the record.
We call on the Nevada County Board of Supervisors to:
Publicly stand with immigrant communities and affirm their right to safety, dignity, and belonging.
Take concrete actions and adopt policies that ensure protection for all residents, without exception.
Reject excuses that invoke fear of funding loss or political reprisal as reasons to avoid moral leadership.
California’s sanctuary laws are not enough. We need local leaders willing to act with courage — to make visible commitments and to stand with every member of our community.
Moral leadership means standing up, especially when it’s hard. This is our home. These are our families, our friends, and our neighbors. In the face of authoritarian rule, we must stand united to protect one another.
Add your name to urge the Nevada County Board of Supervisors to take a public stand for immigrant rights.
