SEIU 1021

Join us in San Francisco on May 1 to rally in support of the PRO Act and to celebrate International Workers’ Day

Post

Join us on May 1st as we recreate the famous 1934 May Day march up Market Street from the Embarcadero to Civic Center for a rally. Wear your union shirts and jackets!

Celebrations of International Workers’ Day, also called May Day, date back over 100 years to the fight for an eight-hour workday. 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.

Speakers will include:

  • Angela Davis, former Black Panther & Professor at UCSC
  • Tefere Gebre, Executive Vice President of the AFL-CIO
  • Eddie Zheng, New Breath Foundation & Civil Rights/Stop Asian Hate Activist
  • Olga Miranda, Secretary Treasurer of SF Labor Council, President of SEIU 87
