OMCA May Day Drop-in Poster making

In solidarity with the May Day general strike on May 1, the Oakland Museum of California (OMCA)  is hosting a drop-in poster workshop on Thursday, April 30! Stop by OMCA’s Oak Street Entrance from 1–4 pm to make a poster for use at May Day 2026 protests, rallies, and actions. Don’t have time to make your own? Printed posters from May Day Strong will also be available for pickup.

Please note: On May 1, 2026, OMCA will close in observance of and in solidarity with the planned May Day general strike and related peaceful demonstrations. Organizers of the May Day activities have specified that this year’s general strike is a national call for “no shopping, no work, and no school.” We’ve made the decision to close our doors for the day—including that evening’s Friday Nights at OMCA, which will return the following week on Friday, May 8—in support of our neighbors, out of precaution for the safety of our visitors, and in alliance with the greater social movement.
