MAY DAY 2026
Working Class Actions
1. Keep in touch with your San Diego & Imperial Counties Labor Council, AFL-CIO, your local “union of unions” by signing up for our emails and taking action with us:
• If you want a May Day “WORKERS OVER BILLIONAIRES” shirt (pickup on May Day at our event while supplies last: bit.ly/sdmayday2026), please first sign-up for our Actions Emails
2. VOTE. Find our June 2, 2026 Primary Election union endorsements at:

• Register or Re-register (ex. recently moved?) to vote: registertovote.ca.gov
• Vote YES for the CA Prop Billionaire’s Tax to fund our healthcare (vote for ongoing Billionaire and wealth taxes in future to fund working class priorities)
• City of San Diego - Vote YES on Measure A The Empty Homes Tax, to open up more homes for housing San Diegans and making the well-off with multiple homes pay more of their fair share.
3. Donate to AFSCME 3299 UC Workers going on open-ended strike May 16! Donate what you can to strike funds in the future.
• After over two years without a contract, and five strikes, the University of CA continues to refuse to bargain in good faith. Find out more and take more actions here: afscme3299.org/our-fight
4. UNIONIZE. Strengthen your union. Build true working class power. Voting is not power and voting will not save us. Organized people is power and how we change this world. In workplaces, that means unions. Right now the rich, the wealthy, the billionaires, the capitalists have enormous power; the working class needs to build true power to counter it so we can mold our world to be for the working class instead of for the wealthy while we all get scraps. So, if your workplace isn’t unionized, take a step today to unionize. If you’re already in a union, take a step today toward more participation and bring a coworker with you, because a strong union is one where its workers all participate.
