Débrayages, marches et autres rassemblements sont prévus pour les manifestations « May Day Strong » à travers le pays. Des milliers de personnes s'apprêtent à rejoindre un blackout économique pour l'International Workers’ Day ce vendredi, dans le cadre de 3 500 événements « May Day Strong » à travers le pays. Les organisateurs appellent à « no school, no work, no shopping » avec des débrayages, des marches, des fêtes de quartier et d'autres rassemblements prévus jusque dans la soirée. May Day est depuis longtemps une journée annuelle de protestation pour le mouvement ouvrier, et cette année, de nombreux mouvements actifs convergent pour lutter pour « a nation that puts workers over billionaires ». Réclamant « no ICE, no war » et la taxation des riches, la coalition May Day Strong comprend des syndicats, des groupes de défense des droits des immigrés, des organisations politiques telles que les Democratic Socialists of America, et les organisateurs derrière les manifestations No Kings. La perturbation économique de vendredi s'appuie sur un effort coordonné similaire au Minnesota en janvier, lorsque des dizaines de milliers de résidents des Twin Cities ont quitté l'école et le travail pour envahir les rues en signe de protestation contre les agents fédéraux de l'immigration prenant la ville d'assaut.
