Pamela: Trump and his billionaire profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself.
This May Day we're resisting. Commemorating the sacrifices of workers who fought for union rights and the eight-hour workday, we are fighting for a country that puts our families over billionaires' fortunes: healthcare and housing over tanks and missiles, peace and prosperity over Pentagon contractors and war profiteers.
We will not be silent as Trump and Musk defund humanitarian aid, target immigrants and students with fear and violence, and plow hundreds of billions more to weapons and war. Last month, hundreds of thousands of people (including our ED Sara Haghdoosti!) across all 50 states rallied to say Hands Off our social services. Hands Off our rights. Hands Off our communities.
Today, across over 1,000 May Day events, Win Without War is supporting a national day of action organized by labor unions and working people who demand a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all — and not just a chosen few.

Why today on May Day, International Worker's Day? Working people built this nation and there's so much we can learn from the victories and struggles of the labor movement in our ongoing struggles today. The government takeover by oligarchs like Trump and Musk have laid bare: Only we can be counted on to take care of each other.
So whether or not you're able to attend a May Day event today, your activism won't end there. Mutual aid is one of the most effective ways we can be there for one another as Trump tries to tear us down.
In this moment, that especially means defending our immigrant neighbors who are increasingly under attack by this rogue administration. Win Without War has assembled a list of just a few of the many organizations across the country providing tangible support:
- Informed Immigrant is an all-encompassing, trusted resource for immigrants. They provide written legal resources concerning detentions and deportations, healthcare resources, information about education, and even run a directory for finding legal assistance.
- KYR App reads your rights out loud to ICE officers, allows users to send a text message to pre-set contacts in the case of potential detainment, and helps develop a preparedness plan. It takes ten times the resources for ICE to detain someone who knows their rights than someone who does not, which is why the National Korean American Service & Education Consortium created this easily accessible Know Your Rights app.
- Immigration Advocates Network is a directory for immigration legal services. You can search for providers by state, county, or detention facility to find organizations that provide free or low-cost immigration legal services.
- Migrant Clinicians Network is increasing access to healthcare for immigrants across the country by connecting people with care when they need it and bolstering the clinicians who serve them.
Share these organizations with your friends, family, and community, support them as you're able, and even bookmark them for your own reference. You can visit our website to find even more resources, including state-specific organizations!
Now and always, our job is to defend communities facing violence and injustice. Together, we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure people can thrive in peace and safety.
Thank you for your activism and commitment to peace,
The Win Without War team
