At least 100,000 students are walking out with the Sunrise Movement. Teacher call outs are shutting down 21 school districts in North Carolina alone. We are reclaiming the disruptive, radical roots of May Day tomorrow – and reminding the authoritarians and the oligarchs that we have the power to not comply.
We’re less than 24 hours away from May Day Strong. Let’s make sure we’re getting everyone activated we can for this event. 📢 Rogan’s List has pulled together a full list of social media graphics, gifs and art to post, along with printable flyers to share and guidance for having one-on-one conversations with people in our lives about tomorrow’s shutdown and protests, here. Let’s put them to work! And we can find events near us to let folks know about on May Day’s site and on Mobilize. 📢
We know this is a step up in the level of engagement from previous mass protests, and not everyone is in a position to make the full no work, no school, no commerce commitment. If we’re not able to fully shut it down tomorrow, organizers are just asking that we do what we can, including helping spread the word online and in our networks, calling local media to push them to cover the protests and above all at least join us in not shopping and make sure we’re telling people about it by taking the pledge and sharing this image.
