In 2006, immigrant workers and their supporters revived May Day as part of a
spring of actions against the Sensenbrenner bill which attempted to criminalize
immigrants, especially the undocumented.
May Day was born in the U.S. out of workers struggles for the 8-hour day.
This year, a May Day that fights for the end of deportations, for
legalizations, jobs, the rights of all workers, and an end to racist abuse is
urgently needed.
That's why the unity of labor and immigrant groups along with the Occupy
Wall Street movement is so welcome this May Day. That unity should be
celebrated.
On Tuesday, May 1st we will join together at Union Square to
commemorate May Day.
This coalition will be assembling at 4 pm in Union Square and march to Wall
Street at 5:30 pm. From 12-4 pm, the May 1st Coalition will be gathering at
Union Square for workers who are unemployed or are able to come to May Day
early. The Occupy Wall Street movement will be holding Know your Rights
workshops at Union Square throughout the day.
All are invited to this historic event which is permitted, family-friendly
and will have "pacers" (i.e. people's security) provided by
coalition members. This unity and organizing will not end on May Day, it will
continue.
