May Day - Union Strong · Mobilize

Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up for a good living. **We are demanding a country that puts our families first**—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness. Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices. **May Day 2025 we are standing united.** Unions bring not just fair working conditions, but also real democracy for all —regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status. Unions, and the principles of solidarity, together with other movements for liberation have built this country and have backed the best parts of our country. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong. This May Day, we will turn the page. In Eastern Maine a major fight for unions is for the University of Maine Graduate Workers Union to gain a fair first contract. Then we will have a discussion about building unions and our democracy. STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. STAND WITH WORKERS AND OUR UNIONS THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US. Hosted by the University of Maine Graduate Workers Union - UAW, Eastern Maine Labor Council (AFL-CIO), Food AND Medicine, and the Maine Education Association.
