SUMMARY:May Day Solidarity - Nat'l General Strike
DESCRIPTION:WORKERS OVER BILLIONARES!  Many unions are calling for a general strike on Friday May 1st.  Here’s more info from https://maydaystrong.org/. \nPlan OR Join a May Day Action \nBecause when the billionaires break every rule\, it’s going to take more than a rally to stop them.   \nFollowing the examples of the historic 2006 day without immigrants that reshaped May Day and the Black-led corporate campaigns that have unseated CEOs\, to Minnesota’s resistance to occupation.  \nTogether we will flex our collective power in a tremendous day of action — rallying\, marching\, and taking action to demand a country that puts workers over billionaires\, with many refusing business as usual through No Work. No School. No Shopping. \nAlso an action toolkit here: \nhttps://www.nea.org/mayday-toolkit

SUMMARY:No Kings Rally #3 - MT State Capitol
DESCRIPTION:Let’s gather for another big rally and continue to choose to stand up for democracy over authoritarianism! \nWe are pleased to announce that\, after a tussle with the governor’s office and the Department of Administration over whether the Montana State Capitol is for the people (hint: it is!)\, this No Kings Rally will again be held around the flag plaza in front of the capitol building. \n\nWhat is there to do at a rally? Glad you asked!\nTell them what you think: Bring your own sign\, or borrow one from our lending library. And afterward\, don’t forget to call or write to your representatives about the changes you wish to see. \nMake connections: Talk with your community members at the rally — what are they doing to resist? How can you help each other? The rally is only a short time\, so let’s make a point to keep the momentum going between these gatherings. \nHelp your community: Waking Giant will be collecting food and hygiene item donations for distribution to the growing list of mini-pantries around our community. Not sure what to bring? We have a list of ideas for you! \n  \nA core principle behind all No Kings 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.

SUMMARY:Waking Giant Social Gathering CANCELED this week - please attend the Commission mtng
DESCRIPTION:Our bi-monthly Waking Giant social event is canceled this week.  That’s because the Helena city commission is having a special meeting this Thursday evening at the Helena Civic Center starting at 5:30.  At issue is whether or not to repeal or amend the recent resolution that directed the Helena Police Department to NOT cooperate with ICE in targeting immigrants in the City of Helena unless they are presented with a judge’s warrant\, and to request that ICE agents remove their face masks. \nAttorney General Knutsen has threatened the City of Helena with legal action unless the resolution is repealed. Waking Giant and MT4Palestine suggest amending the resolution to make clear we are asking the HPD to follow all laws\, which is not hard to add in.  We DO NOT support repealing the resolution entirely.
