We are witnessing growing mass resistance against the horrors of the Trump administration. From the millions turning out to No Kings protests to ICE Watch networks protecting our neighbors to the growing calls for national general strikes– it’s clear that there is significant movement energy brewing against Trump and his billionaire buddies. We saw that energy on Saturday at No Kings and we want to see that same energy on May Day!
Fighting the power of Big Oil is a core part of resisting Trump. Oil and gas billionaires are major backers of Trump’s authoritarian agenda. Oil and gas CEOs offered up millions of dollars to get Trump into power. Now, they’re directly reaping the rewards from increasing energy prices, oil-fueled wars and military interventions, and the dismantling of environmental protections meant to keep our communities healthy and safe.
This May Day is going to be a huge moment in the movement to resist Trump, with groups planning to mobilize and strike across the country. We’re showing up as Power Up: The Movement to End Fossil Fuels to expose the deep connections between Big Oil and the Trump administration – while showing up in solidarity with the broader movement to resist Trump.
