U.S. Senate Candidate Joe Tache to Host May Day Organizing Meeting in Roxbury, Joins National Call for General Strike

Socialist U.S. Senate candidate Joe Tache will host an organizing meeting at the Boston Liberation Center in Roxbury on Saturday, April 25, to mobilize Massachusetts workers for a May 1 general strike. The meeting will cover the history of International Workers' Day, strategies to defeat Trump's agenda, and community outreach through postering across Roxbury.

[Roxbury, MA] — Joe Tache is running for U.S. Senate as a socialist in 2026, and this Saturday, April 25, his campaign will host an organizing meeting at the Boston Liberation Center to build toward a general strike on May 1, International Workers' Day.

The meeting comes amid a growing national call for "no work, no school, no shopping" on May Day, as organizers across the country push back against ICE raids, endless wars, and the Trump administration's ultra-right agenda. Tache has joined that call, pointing to May Day's roots in the 1886 strikes that won the 8-hour workday, and to 2006's "A Day Without an Immigrant," when millions of workers shut down the country to defeat the anti-immigrant Sensenbrenner Bill.

"To fight back against ICE raids and endless wars, we need to keep the pressure on Trump and his right-wing billionaire agenda like workers did by leading strikes in the 1800s, and in 2006," said Tache. "It's time again to make our opposition impossible to ignore. The general strike is back on the table."

The April 25 meeting at the Boston Liberation Center at 194 Blue Hill Ave in Roxbury will: (1) review the history of May Day and the lessons of past mass actions, (2) discuss strategy for defeating Trump's agenda in Massachusetts, and (3) move into the streets of Roxbury to poster the neighborhood and spread the word about the May 1 action.

On May 1, Tache will speak at a rally at the Federal Building at 15 Sudbury St in Boston at 3:00 PM and take to the streets in the fight to end the rule of billionaires.
