What should I do on May Day?

On May Day itself, stay home from work or school and don't shop--as you're able! Different people have differing abilities to participate in an economic boycott. There are lots of ways you can participate:

• If you need to shop on May Day, use cash to avoid sending money to credit card companies.

• When shopping around May Day, shop at local businesses.

• Take advantage of local "free-cycling" groups where you can offer and pick up items for free from your neighbors.

How can I learn more?

Make sure to attend our April Monthly Meeting on Sunday, April 26, 2026 from 2-4pm at the Peoples Community Church in Glyn Ellyn to get ready for May Day and hear about other opportunities to get involved.
