Mayday General Strike and Demo--Save the Date
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. The strike also has backing from major unions such as the AFT, AAUP, NEA, Starbucks Workers United, and the UE, along with dozens of local labor councils and union locals. These groups are coordinating to replicate the success of the Minnesota General Strike in January 2026, where over 100,000 participants marched and hundreds of businesses closed in solidarity.    AnneLandmanBlog.com+3 Scale and Participation The Mayday general strike is expected to involve thousands of cities and towns across the U.S., with coordinated actions including rallies, marches, and walkouts. The movement emphasizes collective action and solidarity, aiming to demonstrate the power of organized labor and community networks in shaping political and economic outcomes. [...]

The Nisenan Cultural Perspective and the Threat to the Bear River from Centennial Dam

  • A presentation of the Nisenan tribal culture and history
  • A panel discussion of the impacts of the proposed Centennial Dam project on Nisenan heritage sites and the culture today
  • Demonstrations of cultural practices, language and songs

Our Nisenan tribal leaders invite the public to join in a community discussion of our cultural history and lifeways. We Nisenan are the indigenous people of this area. The Bear River is the heartland of our traditional territory, which encompass the California counties of Placer, Nevada, Sutter, Yuba, Sierra and Sacramento. Our people endured years of racism, hatred and discrimination. We were tortured, murdered and sold into servitude at the hands of the white settlers. Our lands, children, families and homes were forcibly relocated to other parts of the country. Today, we strive to walk in balance in both the red and white worlds. The local Nisenan families invite the general public to come and visit with us on Saturday and Sunday. We will present our tribal history and culture, hold a dialogue on the proposed dam and its impacts, and demonstrate our cultural traditions as we share our cultural lifeways.
