A local activist group will hold another protest in support of workers’ rights.
Progressive Lakeshore People will be working with the May Day Strong coalition to host the event called May Day Strong- Workers over Billionaires tomorrow (May 1st) from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at Shipbuilders Park.
The coordinated event is supposed to “bring together workers, immigrants, students, and families in a growing list of thousands of rallies, marches, walkouts, town halls, and teach-ins.”
Organizers are calling on working people to participate in a collective work-and-school stoppage: no school, no work, no shopping.
Progressive Lakeshore People Organizer Jill Iverson says families across the country are facing rising costs of housing, healthcare, and more while “billionaires and corporations attack our neighbors, shred government budgets to fill their pockets, and reshape the rules to protect their power.”
The event will also include Wisconsin Secretary Treasurer of the AFL-CIO Marcos Alfaro, Activist Erin Neilan Miller, and 25th District Assembly Candidate Chris Able.
