National Day of Action

While Trump Spends Big On America’s 250th, Communities Protest Across Major Cities

Over 80 organizations protested the 4th of July across 9 major cities as part of a National Week of Action called for by the International League of Peoples' Struggle - US (ILPS-US) to highlight 250 years of resistance to U.S. empire. While the Trump administration has spent over $68 million in taxpayer money on "America 250" and "Freedom 250" celebrations, communities took action to share the real history of the U.S.' violence against the people and the active legacy of communities fighting for justice and freedom.

Major Cities Across The US Take Action Against Trump And America 250

United States – Hundreds of activists and community members across the country refuse to take part in celebrating the 250th birthday of the United States, "America 250," and instead will hold mass actions and protests in major cities to denounce Trump and the violent legacy that the U.S. and Trump continues today. This violent legacy is reflected in the 60,000 migrants locked up in detention centers, a budget allocating $85 billion to ICE and upwards of $1.15 trillion for military spending towards escalating wars, and initiating agreements like the most recent Pax Silica agreement, to solidify its global supply chain and US interests for computing and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

Taxpayer Revolt Grows Against Funding War, Empire, Genocide, And ICE

Last week, on Tax Day, April 15, thousands of taxpayers took to the streets nationwide to demand: no more tax dollars for war, empire, genocide, and ICE. Coordinated actions took place in New York, New Jersey, Washington, D.C., Florida, Texas, Louisiana, Illinois, Minnesota, California, and other states. The nationwide Day of Action was initiated by the US Palestinian Community Network (USPCN) and Taxpayers Against Genocide(TAG) as a Pledge of Action. Dozens of other major civil society and human rights organizations signed the pledge and endorsed the Day of Action. Additionally, individual actions were planned by coalitions of local activists and groups, particularly those organized by the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC), demonstrating the breadth and diversity of the emerging alliance around this issue.

May Day Strong Movement Maps Plans At Nationwide Meeting

With a month to go before mass marches and boycotts are planned nationwide, the May Day Strong movement for “No Work, No School, No Shopping” is accelerating. Hundreds of organizations from coast to coast, including both big teachers unions—the Teachers/AFT and the National Education Association, the nation’s largest union—signed up with the Labor for Democracy coalition.   So have National Nurses United (NNU), locals from AFSCME and the Communications Workers, Starbucks Workers United, Jobs With Justice, and United Service Workers West/SEIU. It represents custodians, building engineers, and security personnel, among others. 

Anti War Action Network Calls For National Day Of Action On Tax Day

The Anti War Action Network (AWAN) called for a national day of action on Tax Day, April 15, to protest Trump’s costly war on Iran. President Trump has asked Congress to authorize an additional $200 billion for his war on Iran while at the same time cutting funding to scientific research, environmental protection, and various social programs including housing assistance, Medicaid and SNAP. From the AWAN post on their Instagram @antiwaractionnetwork, “Organize an action in your community for Tax Day – April 15th – to show that we want our tax dollars spent on human needs like education and healthcare instead of bombing schools and destroying hospitals in Iran!”

March 8 – 15: Week Of Action In Defense Of Cuba

On March 15, 2026, we mark the 148th anniversary of the Protest of Baraguá - a glorious moment in Turtle Island’s history of anti-colonial resistance. On that day in 1878, Antonio Maceo and a group of independence fighters refused to accept a peace that would compromise on Cuban independence. When Spain tried to impose the Pact of Zanjón, which ended the Ten Years' War without securing Cuba’s freedom or the abolition of slavery, Maceo’s reply was dignity itself: "No, we do not accept a peace without independence."

February 7: National Day Of Action In Solidarity With Minneapolis

The Legalization for All (L4A) Network is calling on all affiliated cities to act NOW. Community observer Renee Good was killed by ICE on January 7th. This is why L4A is calling for a national day of action on the one month anniversary. As ICE continues their terror — raiding, killing, and disappearing undocumented immigrants and also U.S. citizens, we must stand up and fight back. Together we will protect our Mexicano, Centroamericano, Somali families. As well as anyone under attack by ICE. On January 14th, Nicaraguan immigrant Victor Manuel Díaz (detained in Texas) and Mexican immigrant Heber Sanchaz Domínguez (detained in Georgia) died under ICE custody and under very suspicious circumstances.

Thousands Mobilize Against Trump’s War Threats To Venezuela

Thousands of people in the United States demonstrated on December 6 under the slogan “Stop the war before it starts!” to protest against President Donald Trump’s plans for military aggression against Venezuela. The mobilization, organized by a broad coalition of progressive organizations, declared that the republican administration is repeating past mistakes by justifying a possible intervention with unfounded accusations about drug trafficking. Among the first groups backing the protests are the ANSWER Coalition, People’s Forum, Black Alliance for Peace, CODEPINK, Palestinian Youth Movement, Party for Socialism and Liberation, Democratic Socialists of America, and Dissenters.

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.
