May Day Protest in Marysville

MAY DAY STRONG:  

WE ARE THE MANY

Scenes From Five Days of Anti-Trump Protests Across a Divided Nation - The New York Times

Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.

Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.

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.

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. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.

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

CHILDREN'S RALLY TO SAVE HEALTHCARE

Congress has proposed $880 billion worth of cuts to Medicaid to pay for their tax breaks for billionaires and corporations. Over 15 million Californians are at risk of losing their healthcare coverage, including children and people with disabilities. We need to get three Republican Congress members to vote NO. Join kids, parents, advocates and the broader community for a rally to tell Congressman Kiley - Medicaid Cuts Hurt Kids! See the video here.

Hands Off! Protest in Marysville April 5, 2025

HANDS OFF! 

  RED MARYSVILLE,  YUBA -SUTTER, FIGHTS BACK


    Over 150 people turned out to join us to protest the Trump/Musk regime in red, rural, Yuba County. This was a great turnout for the area that is 60% Republican. The protesters were from  Yuba County, and Sutter County, with  a couple of folks from neighboring Butte and Placer. We are represented by Kevin Kiley (R) in CD3, and Doug LaMalfa in CD1. These congressional Representatives vote with Trump and MAGA.  They must be replaced.

There was a lot of positive energy generated by the shared resistance and the commitment to protecting our Democracy, our civil rights, our Social Security, Veterans, immigrants, the planet, Ukraine, Gaza, our wallets, and you name it, our entire future.  

Thank you all for "Takin it to the Streets!"

We aren't done yet. See you next time

A participant said:

 Thank you very much for organizing our local event!  It was great to be able to stay local, and I was heartened to see so many participants, considering that we live in "Magaville"!  Also noteworthy: the MANY supportive honks from passersby, and very few "fingers" flown.  Several of my senior citizen friends attended, and would not have traveled out of town to demonstrate. For several, this was their first ever protest participation!  I look forward to future stagings!
