The Trump administration has launched a war on working people. Trump, Musk, and their fellow oligarchs are ripping up union contracts, denying workers the right to collective bargaining, laying off thousands, and slashing social programs. To get away with this all-out assault, they are trying to divide and conquer us, scapegoating migrants, people of color, trans people, and Palestine solidarity activists. But the labor movement will unite, resist the Trump administration, and defend everyone under attack. We know that an injury to one is an injury to all! 

This May Day we will rally and march in Williston, Vermont in solidarity with Migrant Justice’s day-long picket at Hannaford Supermarkets. They are demanding that Hannaford join Milk with Dignity and pay farm workers fair wages and benefits. We will assemble, march past the ICE Data facility, which centralizes and distributes information to immigration authorities and law enforcement throughout the country to arrest and deport migrants, and end with a rally at Hannaford with Migrant Justice.

We call on all unions, faith groups, and organizations to endorse and mobilize for May Day in Williston. We do so in solidarity with all other May Day actions throughout the state from Montpelier to every other town and city. Now more than ever we must revive the tradition of solidarity forged on the first May Day in 1886 that united all workers–migrants and citizens–in a strike for an 8-hour workday. Today, as the rights and living standards of all workers and oppressed groups hang in the balance, we must unite and fight for our collective liberation. Join us!
