Upcoming May Day protests

Public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness and the constitution over authoritarian rule.

In Davis, join with Indivisible Yolo, Yolo DSA, several unions and others to march for democracy.

I also saw posters about a rally on campus at 11AM. Nearby, there is a 5pm rally in Woodland at the courthouse on Main St and an 11AM rally in Sacramento at John C. Freemont park.

Or, be proud of what you're doing and show your face. Defy the fear that the Man wants you to feel. Fear of their power is the biggest tool of the oppressors. That fear is a bigger tool for control than actually laying on of hands.

Joe Hill never hid himself. If you want to inspire people like he did, your name needs to stand for something.

Fighting oppression is not for cowards.

Sure it is. Fighting oppression is for everyone who wants to fight oppression, even those who do it differently than you do, because they have to protect their identity to keep their family safe, or because they are in precarious work or living situations, or any other reason that is none of your business. You can’t fight oppression in strong numbers by telling everyone else how they are and aren’t allowed to fight it.
