• Workers Over Billionaires, a national day of action for May Day. "More than 700 people across the Wasatch Front have signed a public commitment to take part in coordinated shutdown actions, as local organizers prepare for walkouts, sick-outs, and business closures on May 1 — part of a growing nationwide call for a May Day shutdown. 

  "This year’s May Day marks the 20th anniversary of the 2006 'Day Without an Immigrant' general strike, when millions across the United States walked out of workplaces and schools to protest anti-immigrant legislation. Organizers say the current moment is seeing renewed national attention, with calls for similar actions gaining traction across the country.

  "On the Wasatch Front, the effort is being organized through the Red Lines on the Wasatch Front campaign, which is building a network prepared to respond collectively if anti-immigrant repression escalates along the Wasatch Front. Initial partners of the campaign include the Black Menaces, the Utah State Progressive Caucus, MEChA de U of U and Green Wave Utah."
