SUMMARY:May Day - Western Mass
DESCRIPTION:Join the Western Mass Area Labor Federation\, MTA\, SNOL & more in a May Day March! \n\n\n\n📅Date: Friday\, May 1st \n\n\n\n🕛Time: 4:30 pm to 6:30 pm \n\n\n\n📌Location: Downtown Holyoke. Gather at Heritage State Park\, corner of Dwight & Heritage St. \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nOn May Day\, we will be marching in solidarity with Holyoke educators and with working people around the country. Help us build a powerful demonstration of the unity and power of the working class this May by co-sponsoring. Gather a contingent of your union or community organization members to participate! \n\n\n\nWhat is May Day? \n\n\n\n“May Day” or “International Workers Day\,” is observed on May 1st and commemorates the struggles and wins throughout the history of the labor movement across the country and internationally. It’s time for us to recognize that we are part of the same history and same struggle as the workers who fought for the right to organize on behalf of their communities. We need to take collective action on May 1st in solidarity with the working class around the country in order to protect our rights. \n\n\n\n— From May Day Strong: \n\n\n\nBecause when the billionaires break every rule\, it’s going to take more than a rally to stop them. \n\n\n\nOur Demands for May 1st – Tax the rich so our families\, not their fortunes\, come first. – No ICE. No war.. No private army serving unchecked federal power. – Expand democracy\, not corporate power. Hands off our vote.. \n\n\n\nTogether we will be flexing our collective muscle in a tremendous day of power – showing our unity through a day of marches\, rallies\, and actions including No Work No School No Shopping in many cities. \n\n\n\nJoin as as together we celebrate May 1st through action and community. \n\n\n\nPlease note: A core principle behind all our 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.
