This May Day we are Feeding Families, Not Billionaires:  Donate your support to Families facing Hunger in America.

Sherman, TX ¨C On Friday, May 1, Indivisible Sherman TX is hosting a virtual food drive to help offset the increasing cost of food for families in our area. Workers, students, and families in Texoma will join over 1,000 cities nationwide as part of the May Day Strong Day of Action to demand, ¡°Workers & Families Over Billionaires.¡±

Nan Campbell said, ¡°How much does a dollar buy you at a grocery store today? What if every dollar you spent could provide 10 meals to those in need? What if that latte could buy lunch for 50 or more hungry first graders or that chicken sandwich combo could feed a family of 4 for a week? It¡¯s not magic. It¡¯s the power of people collaborating to end hunger in America. At Indivisible, we¡¯re not just talking about the issues, we¡¯re taking action to help solve them.¡±

¡ñ Indivisible Sherman TX has set a goal to raise $5,000 for Feeding America by asking everyone to donate just $5.

¡ñ That¡¯s enough to provide 50,000 meals to Americans in need.

¡ñ Donate more or donate or whatever you can afford. Every dollar helps.

No need to go shopping or carry around cans and boxes. Donations can be made online via PayPal or credit card at this link.

You can begin donating on Monday, April 27, 2026 and continue to donate thru May 1, 2026. We¡¯ll provide updates on milestones and let you know when we have achieved our goal.

Everyone deserves healthy food to live a full, healthy life. Yet millions of hardworking families still face hunger¡ªand when people don¡¯t have enough to eat, it impacts their health, education and future opportunities. These numbers reveal a crisis that threatens us all, but together, we can end it. Texas now has the highest number of people facing hunger in the nation, with nearly 5 million individuals experiencing food insecurity in our state alone.

Right here in Grayson County, 23% or nearly 1 in 4 children face food insecurity. That means skipping meals on a daily basis, going to bed hungry and missing out on the key nutrients they need to grow and thrive. It¡¯s not much better for the 1 in 6 adults who struggle to provide food, clothing, and a place to live for their families while inflation continues to rise. Many of these adults are senior citizens or the disabled.

In cooperation with Feeding America, we envision an America Where No One Goes Hungry.

Feeding America supports our foodbanks, food pantries and kitchens right here in Texoma via the North Texas Food Bank, including Grand Central Station, The Market Depot, Masterkey Ministries and others.

As families are being forced to choose between rent and groceries they¡¯re being told to fear and blame their neighbors, while billionaires and corporations keep taking more. In response, unions and community groups organize to show unity behind an agenda that puts workers first. We need fundamental change to the way our tax dollars are collected and spent. Because when the billionaires break every rule, it¡¯s going to take more than a rally to stop them.

Our demands for May 1

1. Tax the rich so our families, not their fortunes, come first.

2. No more War. Seek peace through negotiation and partnerships around the world.

3. Expand our democracy - get corporations out of our government and defend our right to free and fair elections.

¡°The affordability crisis isn¡¯t an accident, it¡¯s the result of a system built for those at the top. The billionaires have taken over the federal government, gutted public services and used those funds to fill their own bank accounts. They¡¯ve launched a war on unions, an attempt to shut down public education, and now plan to nationalize elections because authoritarianism only works if workers don¡¯t have a say. We should live in a country that puts Workers & Families Over Billionaires.¡± said Jan Fletcher.

Amy Hoffman Shehan says, ¡°Together, we will take action alongside workers, parents, students, and community members who are uniting to demand better, safer, and stronger communities ¡ª places that put the needs of working families first. We¡¯re standing up for thriving neighborhood public schools, affordable food & housing, and access to high-quality healthcare, prioritizing people over the profits of billionaires and
their corporations.¡±

May Day actions across the country were inspired by Minnesota unions, community organizations and workers who came together to withhold economic power in response to federal agents¡¯ violent occupation of their city. Thousands of businesses and workers nationwide followed Minnesotans¡¯ lead and signed on to the ¡°No Work, No School, No Shopping¡± pledge to demand ICE out of our communities, billionaires to pay their fair share, and protect and expand democracy for working people.
