Labor and left groups across the United States are organizing a nationwide May Day on May 1 called "No Work, No School, No Shopping," planning mass walkouts, rallies and local events to demand the removal of Donald Trump. Organizers are urging workers, students, and families to call out of work, walk out of school, and refuse to shop to create economic disruption; cities with planned actions include Houston, where campaigns link labor rights to solar jobs and critique U.S. policy on Israel and Iran, and Worcester, which lists a City Hall rally from 4 to 6 PM. Some groups are framing the day around explicit political demands, with a revcom call declaring "TRUMP MUST GO NOW," while other labor organizations emphasize wages, workplace power, and green job creation. Organizers intend the synchronized disruptions to pressure political leaders, spotlight labor and climate job issues, and demonstrate nationwide organizing capacity.
