May Day Call to Action Standouts

 




May Day Is a Day of Action

May Day is when we build collective muscle — and use it. It's a day to stand up against the concentrated power of those who use money and influence to steal our future.

Hear Ezra Levin from Indivisible explain why this moment matters: link

Millis is taking it to the street.

From April 27 through May 1, Millis Democracy will be holding signs on Route 109W, across from Town Hall, during evening rush hour (4:30–5:30 PM). Our message to our neighbors driving by:

  • 🛍️ Shop Local — keep your dollars in the community
  • 📵 Avoid High-Power Social Media — don't feed the grift
  • Disrupt the Grift — on May 1st, take whatever action you can

We need 3–6 people each day. One person can easily carry two signs, so every volunteer counts.

👉 Sign up on SignUp Genius to hold a sign on one or more days: link

Show your neighbors that Millis shows up.

Attendee Instructions

Coordinate among each other who will pick up & drop off signs at Martha's shed. Email Martha martha@millisdemocracy.org for address. 

The signs have numbers. The US flag can go anywhere or be left out. One sign can take a little flag.
