Worker May Day Celebration
Saturday, May 1st In-Person Rally: Hart Plaza, 12PM, Zoom Virtual Town Hall 7PM.
This May Day, we're teaming up with Detroit Action and MAJIC to put on an in-person May Day Worker Celebration starting at noon at Hart Plaza, complete with speakers, food, and live music! Later that night, we'll be joined by labor leaders from across the state, Professor Steve Babson, and Rep Andy Levin for a Virtual Town Hall to discuss labor history and the importance of passing the PRO Act. Whether you're interested in one or both events, we look forward to you joining us celebrating the workers who built our world!
"Long live the popular front"
"The popular front is dead. Long live the popular front."
Is the broad front of groups that movements entered into this year to defeat Trump dead already? Or does that broad front represent the basis for the progressive majority that many aspire to build?
Organizers are celebrating after playing a likely decisive role in defeating Trump at the voting booth. And they are gearing up for the chaos of the Presidential transition, and the long fight that follows.
What lessons can we take from the election about the role our groups have played, and where do we stand in relationship to the voters we moved, the groups we allied with, and with one another? Are we prepared for the non-electoral and electoral battles that lie ahead? Hosts Adam Gold and Rishi Awatramani return to discuss these post-election themes with guests Jon Liss from New Virginia Majority, Purvi Shah from Movement Law Lab, Branden Snyder from Detroit Action, and Philadelphia City Councilmember Kendra Brooks.
