BREAKING: Over 100,000 students are preparing to strike from school on Friday for May Day.

Over a dozen schools have cancelled classes because so many students and teachers are expected to miss class.
We're demand an economy and government that works for everyday people, not just the 1%.
A nationwide general strike is planned for May 1, 2026, aiming to halt economic activity to protest against the current administration and demand economic justice, immigrant rights, and the abolition of ICE. That's Friday everybody. We're shutting it down. So mark your calendars. X
