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. [...]

On The Side Of The Road – A Documentary

On The Side Of The RoadA former West Bank settler, Lia Tarachansky, looks at Israelis’ collective amnesia of the fateful events of 1948 when the Palestinians became refugees.  She follows the transformation of Israeli veterans trying to uncover their denial of the war that changed the region forever.  Tarachansky then turns the camera on herself and travels back to her settlement where that erasure gave birth to a new generation, blind and isolated from its surroundings.  She sheds a light on the country’s biggest taboo.

Tarachansky is an Israeli-Russian journalist and filmmaker living in Canada.  She was the correspondent for The Real News Network in Israel/Palestine and her work appears on Al Jazeera, USA Today and 972 Magazine.  Her previous films include Ethnocracy: Israel’s African Refugees (2015), No One Knows How To Make A Revolution (2012) and she is currently developing two new films.
