Since 2017 efforts to connect May Day activities worldwide have been taking place through the Global May Day network. Also this year some unions got together to prepare a framework for a common Global May Day 2026.

During the first four meetings participants collected relevant focal points and prepared a call to action, which is now ready and online. At the next meeting, on March 29th (Sunday), we will focus on the coordination of the next steps, e.g. translations, online material, outreach to further labour initiatives and unions.

It doesn’t matter, if you missed the previous meetings. Everyone sympathizing with the Global May Day self-conception is invited to participate!

Details on how to join the meeting are listed below.

Suggested agenda items:

• Round of introduction
• Coordinating translations of call to action
• Propaganda materials (e.g. posters, videos, memes)
• Outreach to comrades worldwide
• Next steps

Feel free to also communicate any proposals related to Global May Day 2026 ahead of the meeting. This way participants can consider them beforehand.
