5.1.25: Washburn - May Day Rally · Washburn City Hall Plaza @ Noon
The Neighbors Union invites you to join us for a noon-hour rally this May Day!
Come be a visible force in public, meet one another, and learn about the history of working peoples' struggle against the ruling class!
On May Day (International Workers' Day) we commemorate those who fought and died for the 8-hour workday in 1886, and all those who before and since have worked to make a better world for all.
In our era of rising authoritarianism and billionaire-rule, we the people must organize ourselves to demonstrate that the power of organized people is stronger than the power of organized money.
Reach out with any questions--we're looking forward to connecting with you and together building the people-power movement for the long-haul!
You can stay in-the-loop with other community organizing efforts in our area by signing up for the weekly Neighbors Union email here
The following is language from 'May Day Strong':
Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.
Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.
May Day 2025 we are standing united. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status.
They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest, we will stand together and stand strong.
This May Day, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are protected, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites, and we will not be intimidated by Trump, Musk, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up.
STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.
