May Day 2025 we are standing united. Bring your signs and join us as we fight for the rights of all.

Guest speakers: Monica Gibbs, NC NAACP Civic Engagement Director; and Tony Reardon, Retired President of the National Treasury Employees Union.

Across the country, working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.

Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.

May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.

They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong.

This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind.

Come out and register to vote!

Grantham 2B: Precinct 23 will be manning a booth at the Beartown Exchange Vendors Market (same location as the New Bern Farmers Market). This event is open to all precincts.

What you’ll need to bring: Real ID, or some proof of citizenship (passport, birth certificate, certificate of citizenship, etc.).
