Nationwide May Day protests expected to pick up mantle of 'No Kings' - NPR

May Day demonstrations are expected across the country as organizers seek to carry the 'No Kings' mantle, calling for a boycott of work, school and shopping to protest the administration's policies and what activists call a billionaire takeover of government. Photo coverage from Asia and elsewhere shows similar economic grievances—particularly anger over rising energy costs and shrinking purchasing power tied to the war in Iran—driving concurrent international May Day actions. Organizers are trying to translate street rallies into coordinated economic and civic withdrawal amid this broader wave of worker discontent.
