Union Square rings to: All out for May Day!
Published Apr 16, 2012 11:02 PM
Organizers of the May 1st Coalition for Worker & Immigrant Rights held a press conference in New York’s Union Square on April 5 to announce that they’d be back there on May Day, along with other groups, for a demonstration of thousands demanding jobs, legalization and no deportations of immigrant workers. Successful negotiations have brought about agreement among the May 1st Coalition, the Occupy Wall Street movement, and the Alliance for Labor & Immigrant Rights & Jobs for All to have a united march and rally. The May 1st Coalition is asking people to come to the square at noon and participate in many actions throughout the day. At 4 p.m., the united march and rally will begin. May Day falls on a Tuesday this year, so organizers are calling on everyone to honor this international workers’ holiday with “No work, no shopping, no housework and no school!” For more details, visit www.may1.info or call 212-633-6646.
