"We who believe in freedom cannot rest."
— Ella Baker, civil rights organizer
May 1 is International Workers' Day — the global day of labor solidarity. Students are workers too. Our schoolwork builds the future being shaped without us. On May Day, we strike alongside workers everywhere.
When students act together across schools, no one stands alone. Coordinated action raises the cost of silence and lowers the cost of speaking up. Solidarity is protection. Numbers are power.
Connect with organizers, get resources, or coordinate your school's walkout for May 1.
JoinClicking opens your email app with a pre-filled message to organizers. We don't store anything on this site. Use a personal email — not a school email — if you're concerned about administrative monitoring.
Schools can discipline students for missing class, but you have rights. Document everything. Connect with local legal support before May 1. The ACLU and National Lawyers Guild have student organizing resources.
"We need, in every community, a group of angelic troublemakers."
— Bayard Rustin, civil rights organizer
