ICE killed Renee Good, so Minneapolis rose up. A day after the first city-wide general strike in almost a century, ICE killed again in Minneapolis - murdering Alex Jeffrey Pretti. Now, students in Minneapolis have called on the nation to rise up again. Billionaires tell us we can’t afford free college and good jobs - meanwhile, they spend trillions waging war for oil profits and kidnapping immigrants.
We’re here to prove that no politician can keep their job, no school can run as usual, no business can turn a profit if they side with ICE’s violence over us.
We're building up to a mass student day of action on May 1st, 2026, when we'll join workers in the streets to disrupt business as usual. It all starts with you — with teach-ins, walkouts, and protests at hundreds of schools around the country. Join us!
A core principle behind all of our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events
