Get ready for the May Day (May 1st) general strike.

It's being led by a coalition of serious labor groups—May Day Strong, Workers over Billionaires, Power in Numbers.

The training leading up to it is being facilitated by Strike Ready Corps

Backed by larger orgs like Indivisible this year which means we may get millions to participate.

It’s part of a larger strategy.

Strike Ready Corps has the training piece. Workers over Billionaires, Power in Numbers — this is the most organized May Day mobilization in years.

Hampton's question still applies: who's providing the meal on May 1? Not separate from the organizing — the breakfast program *was* the organizing. Which of these orgs has cooperative/mutual aid infrastructure activated for May 1 itself? #MayDay2026

Strike Ready Corps doing training is exactly the right infrastructure move — the question is whether that training extends to the material conditions needed to sustain past May 1. Who covers lost wages? What happens week two if employers don't budge? Hampton's lesson: the program that makes people not need the boss — that's what makes a strike durable, not just disruptive. The coalition is strong. Is the safety net built?
