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. [...]

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.

“The time is always right to do what is right.”
The words of Martin Luther King, Jr. shine bright today. They light a path for us, in these dark and truly frightening days. Be inspired by his wisdom, his grace, his authority,
