They are asking folks who are in a position to do so not to go to work\, not to go to school (the school walkout is backed by major teacher’s unions)\, and not to purchase anything except at locally owned businesses. The point of this is to flex economic power and send a message to the Trump regime that we will not do business as usual while they trample our rights\, terrorize our communities\, and drag us into a senseless war. \n\n\n\nMay Day Rally and March\, Friday May 1 at 5:30 pm: Join 1Hood\, Casa San Jose\, LCLAA and APALA to rally and march for Workers Over Billionaires\, Immigrants Over ICE\, starting at the United Steelworkers Building\, 60 Boulevard of the Allies\, Pittsburgh\, PA 15222. \n\n\n\nhttps://www.mobilize.us/mayday/event/934091 \n\n\n\nWhile marching in the streets won’t get billionaires to pay their fair share or get ICE agents off our streets\, solidarity events like this are a first step to create the momentum we need to organize our communities and work together to fight for a city where everyone can thrive.  Bring a friend\, coworker\, partner\, family member\, or neighbor – our collective energy is powerful.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://partnersforprogressswpa.org/event/may-day-strong/ LOCATION:United Steelworkers Building\, 60 Boulevard of the Allies\, Pittsburgh\, Pennsylvania\, 15222\, United States END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260429T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260429T203000 DTSTAMP:20260514T094505 CREATED:20260409T183414Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260409T185916Z UID:1152-1777489200-1777494600@partnersforprogressswpa.org SUMMARY:Frontline Dignity Immigrant Protection Training DESCRIPTION:Frontline Dignity Immigrant Protection Training\, Wednesday\, April 29th\, 7-8:30 pm.

Lebanon) will be provided when you RSVP. https://actionnetwork.org/forms/partners-for-progress-swpa-meeting-and-neighborhood-organizing-training \n\n\n\n\nShare this:\n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://partnersforprogressswpa.org/event/partners-for-progress-swpa-membership-meeting/ ORGANIZER;CN="Partners for Progress SWPA":MAILTO:info@partnersforprogressswpa.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260403T110000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260403T120000 DTSTAMP:20260514T094505 CREATED:20260326T165042Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T165046Z UID:1116-1775214000-1775217600@partnersforprogressswpa.org SUMMARY:Fridays With(out) Fetterman DESCRIPTION:Fridays Without Fetterman\, every Friday\, noon to 1 pm at 1000 Liberty Avenue\, Pittsburgh\, 15222. It hardly needs to be said how disappointing John Fetterman has been as our senator. It is crucial that we continue to remind him that we sent him to Washington to stand up for our values\, protect our civil and first amendment rights\, and be a bulwark against the tyrannical policies of the Trump regime. Bring a sign and a friend. https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/899611/ \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nShare this:\n Share on Bluesky (Opens in new window)\n Bluesky URL:https://partnersforprogressswpa.org/event/fridays-without-fetterman/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20260328T160000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20260328T173000 DTSTAMP:20260514T094505 CREATED:20260311T235330Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260326T162203Z UID:1014-1774713600-1774719000@partnersforprogressswpa.org SUMMARY:No Kings Rally - Pittsburgh South Hills DESCRIPTION:Sign up at https://www.mobilize.us/nokings/event/909512/ \n\n\n\nOn March 28th\, rise up\, take to the streets\, and say it loud: no thrones\, no crowns\, no kings.
