We are protesting the billionaire takeover of America and demanding investment in our futures
What: Rally

When: Saturday, May 3rd, 2025 – Noon to 2pm
Who: Indivisible Tillamook Coast Action
Tillamook, Oregon –On May 3, 2025, workers, immigrants, students, and families in Tillamook will join over 340 cities nationwide to honor the legacy of past labor struggles and demand public investment in our lives, not billionaires’ bank accounts. From fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—this May Day, the many are organizing to take the country back from the few.
“We are rallying on May 3rd because in Tillamook County, it can be very difficult for folks from the ends of the county to get off work and attend weekday events. We believe that it is very important to honor the workforce and insist that they come first, not billionaires,” Don Backman of Indivisible Tillamook Coast Action said. “The Trump Administration is raising prices and taxes on workers so they can give billions to those billionaires. That needs to stop now.”
Drawing inspiration from the legacy of labor and community movements of the past that fought for the eight hour workday, and building upon the protests against the federal layoffs, for union rights, and the more recent April 5th nationwide event, the May Day action is dedicated to fighting for a better future that prioritizes the needs of working families and their neighborhoods.
Just four months into the Trump Administration, the May Day action emerges as American families face cuts to programs for low-income students, reductions in Social Security, Medicaid, and Medicare, attacks on unionized international graduate students, and calls for additional tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires.
This year’s national day of action unites a powerful, intersectional movement calling for:
- An end to the billionaire takeover and corruption under the Trump administration
- Full funding for public schools, healthcare, and housing for all
- Protection and expansion of Medicaid, Social Security, and critical social programs
- An immediate halt to attacks on immigrants, Black, Indigenous, trans, and other targeted communities
- Union protections, fair wages, and dignity for all workers, regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status
