Twin Cities organizations plan a major march on Friday, May 1 — celebrated worldwide as International Worker’s Day – to call for workers’ rights.
More than 30 local groups will join together for a march that begins at 2:30 p.m. from East Lake Street and Nicollet Ave. S. in Minneapolis. Participants will proceed to downtown Minneapolis for a 5 p.m. rally outside the Hennepin County Government Center, 300 S. 6th St.
Labor organizations sponsoring the march include AFSCME Local 34, AFSCME Local 844, AFSCME Local 3800, CTUL, Minnesota Young Workers (AFL-CIO) and SEIU Local 26.
The event will be joined by participants in a Black Lives Matter march that will start earlier in the afternoon. Blacks Lives Matter is protesting the arrests of participants in a Dec. 20 demonstration at the Mall of America.
