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. [...]

Justice for Amaud and Bre

Audrey Schwartz, PJCNC board member, requests that we support justice for Amaud and Bre.

Hi,
Here are action steps that can be taken in order to seek some sort of justice for Ahmaud Arbery and Brianna Taylor.

Two of the men responsible for Ahmaud Arbery’s murderer were finally arrested, thankfully. The third suspect; William Bryan,  who filmed Ahmaud Arbery’s murder, and actively participated in the murder when he boxed Ahmaud in so he couldn’t get away, has not been arrested.
Please call (770) 800-0689 to demand that William Bryan be arrested and charged for his active participation in the murder of Ahmaud Arbery, as well as demand the resignation of D.A. Jackie Johnson who interfered with the case when she told police not to arrest the murderers the day of the crime.

Please go to www.runwithmaud.com to seek #justiceforahmaud .

Brianna Taylor was killed in her home when police mistakenly raided it to serve a warrant for someone else. Police had the wrong home and the person they were serving a warrant to was already arrested!
Police fired a barrage of bullets from outside Brianna Taylor’s home, through a window with closed curtains! The bullets went through three different apartments!

Please call (502) 735-1784 to demand that the three officers who killed Brianna Taylor be fired immediately, arrested, and charged for their reckless actions that killed Brianna Taylor and demand an investigation be opened into the Louisville Police Department for their gross mishandling of the case.

Please sign the petition at www.standwithbre.com for justice for Brianna Taylor.

Thank you.
