Many grocery store workers have to work multiple jobs just to afford to pay the rent and keep food on the table. Saving for a house or for retirement is out of the question.

This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. Workers are reclaiming their power.

At 8:30am we'll go live with a Zoom press conference that will highlight a few of the actions happening during our Week of Action - tune in at 8:30am to engage live or watch the recording afterward!

For flyering addresses, please RSVP by emailing dhogan@opeiu12.org

In our second public bargaining session with MPS, we'll focus on some of the issues that both educators and families have raised as their top concerns, including class size and staffing levels. MPS families that have been organizing with Minneapolis Families for Public Schools (part of TakeAction MN) will join us in solidarity as we call on MPS to prioritize the investments required to make MPS a destination district for students and staff. Arrive at 4:30pm for a short briefing before bargaining starts at 5!

On May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.

They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong.

This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power.

WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.
