Beacon for Democracy with Singing Resistance Great Neck - May Day 2026: Workers Over Billionaires · Mobilize

When billionaires and corporate interests rig the rules for themselves, it will take more than business as usual to stop them. Every gain working people have ever won came from collective action — and May 1 is our moment to stand together again. Our May 1 Priorities Make billionaires pay their fair share so our families, schools, and communities come first — not their profits. Protect and strengthen Medicaid, Social Security, and the public programs working people rely on. Fully fund public schools, healthcare, and affordable housing instead of padding billionaire tax breaks. Defend our democracy from corporate capture and ensure elections reflect the will of the people — not the wealthiest few. Stand with immigrants, communities of color, Native communities, people with disabilities, and LGBTQ+ people against policies designed to divide and harm us. On May 1, we will demonstrate our collective power through coordinated action in our communities — rallies, teach-ins, walk-ins, and visible solidarity that makes clear: when working people unite, we can set the direction of this country. Join Singing Resistance Great Neck and Beacon for Democracy as together we celebrate May 1st through action and community. We will gather in Firefighters Park from 1:00-2:30 pm to hear inspiring speeches and lift our voices in song. (Please note: Event time is subject to change, we will update once speakers are confirmed) All are welcome! There is a municipal parking lot next to the park (entrance to the lot is on Bond Street just north of Grace Avenue). *Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
