On Thursday, April 30th, meet us at the Metra Lot at the corner of Wool and Klingenberg Lane in Barrington from 7 to 8 am.

Together we'll kick off May Day with a tasty treat, a raffle for a local business gift card, and some community energy before the morning commute.

May Day 2026 is a day to make our voices heard. We're asking our community to take action alongside workers, parents, students, and neighbors who are standing up for thriving public schools, affordable housing, and quality healthcare — putting people over the profits of billionaires and their corporations.

The ask is simple: On May 1st, No Work. No School. No Shopping — except at local businesses that support our community.

Connect, get fired up, and help us build a Barrington and surrounding community that works for everyone. Support Workers Over Billionaires!

Note: The Metra Lot charges for parking at this time. Street parking is available nearby.

Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values and to act lawfully at these events. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
