National Day of Action

Activists Pay Homage To George Floyd Across The US

In response to President Trump and his MAGA base calling for a “Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk” on Oct. 14, left groups in several cities called counter events honoring George Floyd, the 46-year-old Black man whose murder by asphyxiation by a white police officer was broadcast live on social media on May 25, 2020. Floyd’s birthday is also Oct. 14. The Oct. 14 protests also paid homage to the mass movement that took to the streets to protest Floyd’s murder and the murder of all of those who have died at the hands of racist police and fascist violence.

‘Workers Over Billionaires’ Labor Day Events Climb To Nearly 600 Across US

Washington, D.C. — After gathering more than 2,400 people for an incredible virtual call on August 14 featuring multiple labor leaders, “Workers Over Billionaires” events scheduled for Labor Day (September 1) soared to 584 events and counting across the country. On September 1st, the May Day Strong Coalition will continue the movement they launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all people. Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand on Labor Day. Workers will be in the streets, outside the offices of corporate executives, and at congressional offices. Together they will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.

After National Day Of Action For Single Payer; Best Defense Is A Good Offense

Activists on May 31 made bold demands, refusing to believe the wealthiest country should have a separate healthcare system for the poor, or that we should wait until we are 65 to access a public healthcare system into which we pay all our working lives. On May 31, activists demanded an end to a system where health insurance CEOs, who worry more about “disappointing investors” than patients, control our health. On May 31, we demanded the end of a system where insurance companies get to make trillions of dollars in earnings and spend millions on federal lobbying to influence government officials who write the laws to benefit the owners and not the people who suffer under it.

National Day Of Protest June 18: No War On Iran!

Trump may be about to drag the United States directly into a devastating regional war in the Middle East with an attack on Iran. In these critical days and hours, all people who oppose the war machine need to be in the streets! Protests across the country will take place on June 18, as part of a national day of action.  Already, the administration has backed the brutal Israeli bombardment that has caused widespread civilian casualties -- carried out with an arsenal paid for with our taxpayer dollars. But now, Trump may be on the verge of ordering direct U.S. strikes that would escalate the war to unspeakably dangerous new heights.

From Coast To Coast, People Demand Health Care For All, Not Profits

On Saturday, May 31, people across the United States rallied as part of the first National Day of Action organized by National Single Payer to demand Health, not Profit: Put National Single Payer on the Nation's Agenda. A national single payer healthcare system would cover every person living in the United States and its territories from birth to death and provide comprehensive coverage, including all medically necessary care, medications and therapies, and longterm care. The reality that healthcare in the US is designed to provide profits for the medical-industrial complex rather than protecting people's health has spurred a growing coalition of organizations to take action together.

The United States Could Have The Best Health Care

Ours is the only nation in the industrialized world that has turned health care over to the private sector, subjecting all of us to life expectancy five years below the norm in other wealthy countries. More of our babies die in the first year of life and more of our moms die in childbirth than in any other industrialized country. We spend twice as much per person on health care in the United States as peer countries, yet we have the highest rates of death for conditions that are treatable. On the congressional agenda are cuts to Medicaid of more than $600 billion over 10 years. Hundreds of thousands Kentuckians are among those in the line of fire.

‘Hands Up’ For The National Day Of Action For Single Payer

Every household with employer health insurance making $80,610 per year or less is underinsured. Employers are faced with increasing insurance premiums for their employees that challenge their ability to stay in business, or in the case of public schools, the ability to keep schools open. Enough is enough! Over 70 local and national organizations have endorsed the National Day of Action. On May 31, join an action or plan an action in your community. Focus the outrage to move the engine of change and put single payer on the nation’s agenda and remove profit from healthcare. On May 31, put your “Hands Up” for National Single Payer—an Improved Medicare for All free from profit with everybody in and nobody out.

Stop The Genocide Abroad And The Repression At Home

This April 17, we, a collective of academic workers, students, union members, and activists within multiple higher education associations and unions, trade unions, and other organizing spaces, call for a coordinated national direct action in protest of the ongoing genocide abroad and the escalating repression at home. As academic workers and students united with other labor sectors, we aim to take back public places and uplift the right to dissent and the right to collective organizing for liberation. We stand against the neoliberal and colonial logic of higher ed that represses speech and academic freedom in the US and that enables genocide, carceral tactics, and the long-running destruction of education and historical memory in Gaza and throughout Palestine.

Postal Workers Throng To 500 Rallies To Save The Postal Service

From big cities to small towns, postal workers organized hundreds of rallies across the country in the past week to defend a beloved public service—and the nation’s largest union employer—against privatization and DOGE attack. “Whose Postal Service?” workers chanted in New York: “The people’s Postal Service.” “U.S. Mail Is Not for Sale” was the rallying cry March 20 at 250 rallies organized by the Postal Workers (APWU). “Fight Like Hell” was the theme March 23 for another 210 rallies led by the Letter Carriers (NALC). A hundred people came out to the NALC rally in St. Petersburg, Florida, covering all four corners of the busiest intersection in town, said Roger Ezra Butterfield, a recently minted steward in APWU.

‘Not For Sale’: USPS Workers Hold Day Of Action

US Postal Service workers and advocates are holding a day of action today in more than 150 cities as they brace for the Trump administration to launch an “illegal hostile takeover” which they warn will slash jobs, boost prices and shut down post offices. Donald Trump’s officials are weighing plans to transfer the USPS to the Department of Commerce, stripping it of its independence. The president and his allies have also signaled they are willing to privatize the service. “This is the people’s postal service, emphasis on ‘service’,” said Mark Dimondstein, president of the American Postal Workers Union

Call To Action May 31, 2025: Demand Health Not Profit!

Following the shooting in December of United Health Care CEO, Brian Thompson, the response from Americans was not your typical “sending thoughts and prayers.” The rage, frustration, and disgust directed at the “victim” surprised many. Quickly enough, it became clear why people were responding with anger and not condolences. Many recognized that the victims included people who have been wronged by a cruel, expensive, failed broken health care system. Brian Thompson symbolized an ugly, rapacious industry. It was hard to mourn its death.

National Day Of Action: Federal Union Rank-And-Filers Protest Musk

In Washington, D.C., there’s now a ritual formula for labor gatherings outside a government office to protest the latest depredations of the “Department of Government Efficiency” (DOGE) created by President Trump. Paid staffers from national union headquarters and the AFL-CIO arrive with neatly printed signs and approved messages. Worried federal workers mill about on their lunch hour, share the latest rumors, and hold the signs. PR consultants buttonhole the press and hand out media advisories. Often the news of day involves another lawsuit being filed against DOGE. Top union officials and their putative friends on Capitol Hill show up to deliver fiery rally rhetoric or leave statements of support in their wake.

Milei’s Attacks On LGBTQ+ Community Spark Call For National Mobilization

Argentine movements, unions, LGBTQ+ organizations, and political groups have joined together to call nationwide anti-fascist and anti-racist protests on Saturday February 1 in response to Javier Milei’s repeated attacks on the Argentine people. In his speech at the World Economic Forum (WEF) held in Davos last week, Milei launched sweeping attacks on progressive ideas like feminism, environmentalism, and what he calls “gender identity,” and praised far-right leaders Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, Viktor Orbán, and Giorgia Meloni. He also defended his harsh economic austerity policies, despite their impact on Argentina’s poorest communities.

Climate Groups Announce Global Days Of Action

The climate justice group 350.org on Monday announced upcoming global days of action—November 3 and 4—aimed at accelerating the worldwide transition to clean energy. "On every continent, in big cities and on small islands, we'll take action to show that a global renewable energy revolution is within our reach," says a new website where people can sign up to participate in what 350.org and its partners are calling Power Up. "We'll spotlight the oil industry's greed and reclaim the money and power to fund a just future powered by the sun and the wind." "We are taking to the streets because we are outraged," the website states.

Peruvians Call For 10-Day Struggle Against The Boluarte Government

On July 1 and 2, various social organizations and trade unions from the 25 regions of Peru held the First National Meeting of Regions and Organized People in the capital Lima to unite forces against the de facto government led by Dina Boluarte.
