May Day is here — and so are we! This Friday, Sacred Resistance joins the great tradition of workers, immigrants, coalition partners and justice-seekers everywhere who take to the streets every May 1st to say: we are not afraid, we are not silent, and we are not going anywhere.  This year's march comes at a critical moment. Our immigrant neighbors are under relentless attack. The government is weaponizing federal law enforcement to terrorize communities. And still — still — our people rise. We march because resurrection is not just a theological claim. It is a political one.  Here is everything you need to know to join us this Friday:

JOIN THE MARCHING DELEGATION

Sacred Resistance will have a visible, faith-rooted presence in the May Day march. Come wear your collar, your stole, your Sacred Resistance t-shirt — bring your voice, your body, your witness.  Details to be confirmed — watch for final logistics. Plan to march with us.  We will meet at the James Lawson/UCLA Labor Center building on the west side of Park, between Wilshire and 7th.  Here is a link to the route:  

Also, I have seen the program and the list of speakers before the march.  They will go from 10:30 – 11:30 am.  Just an FYI.  

HOME DEPOT STOP ALONG THE MARCH

There will be a pause at the Home Depot at 1675 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90017.   Just a pause to make some noise.  We will return later to give a bit more! 

FIFA ACTION AT US BANK TOWER ALONG THE MARCH

FIFA LA Headquarters is currently renting space at the US Bank Building, 633 W 5th St., Los Angeles, CA 90071 — using Los Angeles as its base for the 2026 World Cup.  During the march, CLUE and Sacred Resistance will lead a stop at FIFA headquarters to demand that FIFA get out of the ICE business. We will make a loud, disruptive, joyful, soccer-inspired noise — vuvuzelas welcome, soccer chants encouraged — denouncing ICE's presence at the World Cup and demanding that FIFA take a stand for human dignity before this summer's tournament.  
Bring your voice. Bring your vuvuzela. Or other noise-maker. Bring your love for the beautiful game and your fury at its co-optation by enforcement. ⚽

HOME DEPOT IMMIGRATION ACTION AFTER THE MARCH - DRIVE THE POINT HOME!

Gathering at 1:30 PM at SEIU-721 Headquarters, Wilshire & Union.  Home Depot has been complicit in ICE's unjust, mean-spirited immigration enforcement actions at their stores. Enough is enough. It is time to demand that Home Depot change its ways — or face the consequences.  There will be an in-person meeting and training at SEIU-721 at 1:30 PM to agree on the action, its tactics, and hoped-for outcomes. Others will join from or during the march at a later point.  Please let us know if you can be present for this action. Reply to this email or contact us directly

THE MAY DAY MARCH NEEDS PEACEKEEPERS! CAN YOU HELP?

Commitment: 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM on Friday.  Peacekeepers are the heart of safe, dignified public witness. If you are called to serve in this role — holding space, de-escalating tension, protecting participants — we need you this Friday.

LAST PEACE-KEEPING TRAINING - TOMORROW NIGHT

If you or members of your team plan to serve as Peacekeepers, please register for and attend the final training:

YOUR OPTIONS THIS FRIDAY

• March with the Sacred Resistance delegation
• Join the FIFA action: loud, joyful, soccer-inspired witness at US Bank Tower (633 W 5th St)

The movement needs every part of the body — those who march, those who keep the peace, those who show up for targeted actions. Come as you are. Bring who you can. Do what you are called to do.  The arc of the moral universe is long — but we are called to bend it, together, on May Day and every day.

In solidarity and faith
