In 2021, Bay Area Labor is fighting back! Join AFT 2121’s contingent in the May Day Parade & Rally for Workers’ Rights & Racial Justice. We know that our struggle against cuts at CCSF are connected to critical organizing drives in our City led by janitors, chocolate workers, bakers and others on the frontline. On May Day, we march together in solidarity.
We will honor labor history by recreating the famous 1934 May Day march up Market Street from the Embarcadero to Civic Center for a rally. Speakers include the legendary Angela Davis and activist Eddie Zheng. Wear your AFT 2121 shirts and hoodies!
RSVP here. You can also download the FLIER and check out our Facebook Event Page.
Celebrations of International Workers’ Day, also called May Day, date back over 100 years to the fight for an eight hour work day. In San Francisco, May 1 has also played host to a rich history of collective action by workers—and this year will be no different.
The triple-threat of rising income inequality, racial injustice, and COVID-19 has hit working families hard. In order for our communities to emerge from this crisis healthy and prosperous, we need a just and equitable recovery for all. That means building support for key legislation like the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, which will empower workers to exercise our freedom to organize and negotiate for better wages and working conditions. It also means uniting together—no matter who we are or where we come from—to #StopAsianHate, proclaim that #BlackLivesMatter, ensure immigrants are safe and welcome in our communities, and fight to ensure that workers everywhere can live and work with the dignity and respect we all deserve.
