But to protect the upcoming elections from the threat of cancellation, we must move from symbolic protest to sustained noncooperation. Following the national roadmap laid out by Indivisible, MoveOn, and our major labor unions, Tucson is stepping up for May Day Strong on Friday, May 1. This isn't just a march—it’s a city-wide call for No Work, No School, and No Shopping.
