Get Ready for May Day Strong rally in Hayward

April 16, 2026

Stand up for workers over billionaires at a May Day Strong rally from noon to 2 p.m., Friday, May 1, on Democracy Corner in Hayward. That's the intersection of U.S. 63 and Wisconsin 27.

Many are refusing to conduct business as usual on May 1 in support of national organizers’ theme of “No School. No Work. No Shopping.” Our local sponsors, Up North Engaged and the Democratic Party of Sawyer County and Lac Courte Oreilles Reservation, understand that this theme is not as simple as it sounds.

We understand the need to stand up to big corporations that send most of their revenue out of town or out of state instead of investing in our local communities. That’s why, if you are able, we suggest not patronizing large corporations in person or online, on May 1. Instead we recommend that you patronize local businesses that put most of their revenue back into our communities.

That said, we hope you can join us on May Day. Here’s what to do!

·          Bring signs expressing your beliefs and concerns.

·          Stay peaceful.

·          Dress for the weather; bring water, sunscreen, hat, coat or gloves as needed.

We also ask that you register your plan to attend the rally with Mobilize. You may do so now with WisDems Mobilize. We also have submitted a request to get on the national May Day Strong Mobilize site, and we will let you know when that site is live.

If you cannot join us on May 1, remember to:

·          Shop local only; support the businesses that support our communities.

·          Show your support by honking as you go by!!!

A food shelf collection station will be on site. Please bring non-perishable food or a cash donation.
