May Day
On International Workers Day Mayday Strong and Indivisible are calling for a national day of noncooperation on May 1st. “On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families take action across the country to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with many refusing business as usual through: No School. No Work. No Shopping.”
Mayday for Democracy
A peaceful protest, organized by Ketchikan Mayday for Democracy, on the sidewalks in front of the Federal Building.
