we have some big news this afternoon. Mass boycotts are planned for tomorrow for May Day. Some of the largest boycotts that we've seen in recent American history, targeting large corporations, targeting schools and more. The motto we're not putting billionaires over regular people and we're not doing school, we're not spending money at big corporations and more. No school, no work, no shopping at large institutions and large corporations. Some activists say you need to shop local, shop small and well. It's happening in response directly to what the White House is doing. And inside the White House right now, there are fears that this large scale economic blackout economic boycott on May Day could be the beginning of several larger ones as well. So I have the latest right now. Make sure to like, comment, share, subscribe to get the word out. And if you can subscribe to my substack, click the link below to support my work. Labor unions, Democratic organizations and community groups are organizing an economic blackout tomorrow to commemorate May Day, which is International Workers Day. It's been inspired by the economic blackout in Minnesota during the massive ICE operation in the state and May Day. Strong events are being planned across the country with the motto no school, no work, no shopping in protest of the government's policies that they say put billionaires needs above those of average everyday workers. Quote, last year there were about 1300 May Day actions across the country. This year they plan on having more than 3,000. Minneapolis really gave us, really gave us the biggest push in real time to do it. We have a long way to go to take massive disruption actions like in other countries where people will go on general strikes and they can shut down their country. But I think we're getting more and more close to people having consciousness about their own power as workers. That's Nyde Dominguez, the former executive director, who says we're really trying to start organizing people to see that power that, that we collectively have to do economic disruption is really the power that we need in this moment not just to defend ourselves, but defend democracy. Several cities are preparing for citywide blackouts, including Los Angeles and Chicago. In Chicago, several local labor unions and community groups, including the teachers union, SEIU Indivisible and the Federation of Labor jointly announced an economic blackout. Quote, May Day has to become bigger in this moment, said the president of the teachers union. So we're really in a moment right now where tomorrow you're going to have large scale economic blackout across America, the first, or rather the largest in modern day American history. I spoke about this moment, what this means as well as in light of what happened with the Supreme Court and just generally how people are upset and just feeling disdain right now with the federal government, with Kelly Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign. I encourage you to watch, like, comment, share, subscribe here's my interview with Robinson. Super excited today to be joined by Kelly Robinson, the president of the Human Rights Campaign. Now, Kelly, I want to jump right in because there was some disturbing news that a lot of folks saw this morning. The governor of Louisiana, after yesterday's decision in the Supreme Court to gut the Voting Rights act, decided to postpone and or Cancel the upcoming May 16 primary elections. What's your reaction to the Supreme Court ruling and to the fact that the Louisiana governor is literally canceling an ongoing election to take power away from black Louisiana residents.
