On Friday, May 1, 2026, DC refuses to cooperate: No work. No school. No shopping. Get ready, get organized, and join the day of action. Together we’ll make it clear that DC’s workers, our communities, and our political power are worth fighting for — and anyone who comes for those will have to come through us. May 1st, 5.1 is also DC Statehood Day ❤️🤍. It will be a full day of action and awareness. Washington DC residents and allies will also be lifting their voices in unison to tell the country about the importance of statehood for the District of Columbia.
