May Day Protest Rally

MAY DAY PROTEST RALLY
Hosted by Indivisible McHenry County

WHEN:  Friday, May 1st, 2026 -- 3:00 to 5:00 pm 
WHERE:  Route 31 at McCullom Lake Road, McHenry

May Day is a national day of action that includes a national strike, boycotts, and protest rallies. This peaceful, roadside protest rally on Route 31 at McCullom Lake Road in McHenry is being hosted by Indivisible McHenry County. Parking is available at the northeast corner of that intersection. Please don't park in front of businesses, let's leave those spaces open for their customers. Bring your own signs, and feel free to invite your friends and family members.

May Day, also known as International Workers Day, occurs every year on May 1st. Millions of us across the country will flex our collective power on this day to demand a country that puts workers over billionaires. We will demand no more terrorism by I.C.E., no more war, and an end to Trump's private army that serves his authoritarian power. We will demand that our democracy be preserved and that our right to vote is protected. Show Trump and his billionaire supporters that you mean business by attending Indivisible McHenry County's protest rally and by participating in a one-day boycott: No shopping. No work. No school. We understand that not everyone will be able to do all of this, but please try to do what you can. Because when the billionaires break every rule, it’s going to take more than a rally to stop them.

Registration is appreciated so we'll know how many people to expect, however it is not required. Here is the registration link:
