Hi everyone,

WILPF has a long history of challenging systems that harm our communities. We call out militarism, name systems of oppression, and take principled stands to build a world rooted in peace. This May Day, let’s mobilize to challenge systems rooted in injustice and build something better together!

Across the country, people are stepping away from consumerism and the systems that depend on our constant participation so that means no shopping, no school, no work. This moment also aligns deeply with WILPF’s commitment to resisting militarization, opposing harmful policies like those driven by ICE, and expanding democracy.

This is your moment to show up. Use this link to find May Day actions near you like rallies, strikes or community gatherings.

Another great way to show up for May Day is to build a quilt tile for Crafting Justice: our collective quilt project to memorialize the Gaza genocide and expand international solidarity. Because of your interest and requests, we extended the deadline! Please register by May 1st here and send your tile by May 15th!

Your presence matters. Whether you show up on the streets or through the arts, you’re part of the movement!

In solidarity,

Shelby Young
