May 1 is International Workers’ Day! DSA of San Francisco will be joining a local and national movement to take action against the Trump administration, oligarchs, and CEOs exploiting and abusing immigrants and workers. We need to stand up to the people and corporations making our city and our country worse for all but the most privileged. If the working class wants to defeat Trump and build a better society for everyone, we need to learn how to take action together and struggle. A real general strike that shuts down major industries IS possible, but we are not there yet. We must take mass action and work to build our organizational capacity now so that we can weather this political moment together, build solidarity between working people, and fight for a better world.

Earlier this year, as many as 75,000 workers and students in Minneapolis left school and work and took to the streets to force ICE out of the Twin Cities. Let’s follow their example and shut it down this May Day. It’s workers over billionaires! Join our pledge: no work, no school, no shopping on May 1.
