Events

Ongoing! - We call for all resistors to continue to join the call from Black Church leaders to go to Target to protest their phasing out of DEI initiatives. As well, they have stopped selling LGBTQ+ merchandise for Pride month.  Pastor Jamal Bryant, of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church in metro Atlanta and a key leader of the Fast from Target initiative, emphasizes the significance of this participating in economic boycotts historically and today. "The Montgomery Boycott was about economic withdrawal" about understanding "the power of our dollars," he said.  According to Bryant, Target -- whose corporate headquarters is in Minneapolis where George Floyd was murdered -- is where Black people spend $12 million daily. In 2021, Target pledged to invest $2 billion into Black businesses by the end of 2025. However, they have reversed course and are phasing out their DEI initiatives.  2O26 UPDATE!! Keep the Boycott going!! 

Other Corporations who have ended DEI initiatives and should be boycotted: Amazon, Tesla (along with anything from Musk!), Walmart, Google, Meta, Pepsi, Aldi, McDonald's, and Lowes. If you, for one reason or another cannot avoid dealing with one of these, find ways to REDUCE your dependence on them. 

Another inspirational Quote for ALL our Rallies - "We cannot walk alone. And as we walk we must make the pledge that we shall always march ahead. We cannot turn back." Martin Luther King, Jr.

May Day Strong is a national grassroots movement and day of action dedicated to reclaiming power for the working class. Operating under the banner of "Workers Over Billionaires," the coalition unites hundreds of labor unions, student organizations, and community groups in a unified stand against economic inequality.

The campaign encourages a "refusal of business as usual" through its core call to action: No Work. No School. No Shopping. By withholding their labor and economic power, participants demand a country that prioritizes families over fortunes—specifically calling for fully funded public schools, universal healthcare, fair housing, and the protection of immigrant and labor rights.  May Day, or International Worker's Day, has been a part of the labor movement since the late 1800's.
