Nationwide ยท updated October 2026
If anyone tries to sabotage the midterms, we'll be ready.
May Day Strong is a national coalition of unions, immigrant rights groups, and community organizations built around one promise: before and after Election Day, defend what we love and demand what we deserve. If there's an attempt to sabotage the 2026 midterms, the people who've signed on have committed to respond together, from talking with neighbors to joining protests to a No Work, No School, No Shopping response if elections aren't free and fair.
Start here:
Sign the Defend and Demand pledge so you're counted, and contacted, if the vote comes under attack. May Day Strong doesn't take donations directly, so put your money behind the local groups below that are doing this work on the ground.
