All Out for May Day 2012 Join immigrant groups, labor & the Occupy Wall Street movement on TUESDAY ♦ MAY 1st as we say ‘We are the 99%: LEGALIZE, UNIONIZE, & ORGANIZE’ Next meeting of the Solidarity Coalition Monday, April 23 at 630 pm at Local 1199, 310 West 43rd St. Join Saturday street and subway outreach. Come by the Solidarity Center at 12 noon to participate in Sound Cars!! 55 West 17th St. 5th Floor Pick up flyers, stickers to help get the word out at Local 1199 or at the Solidarity Center In 2006, immigrant workers and their supporters revived May Day as part of a spring of actions against the Sensenbrenner bill which attempted to criminalize immigrants, especially the undocumented. May Day was born in the U.S. out of workers struggles for the 8-hour day. This year, a May Day that fights for the end of deportations, for legalizations, jobs, the rights of all workers, and an end to racist abuse is urgently needed. That's why the unity of labor and immigrant groups along with the Occupy Wall Street movement is so welcome this May Day. That unity should be celebrated. On Tuesday, May 1st we will join together at Union Square to commemorate May Day. This coalition will be assembling at 4 pm in Union Square and march to Wall Street at 5:30 pm. From 12-4 pm, the May 1st Coalition will be gathering at Union Square for workers who are unemployed or are able to come to May Day early. The Occupy Wall Street movement will be holding Know your Rights workshops at Union Square throughout the day. All are invited to this historic event which is permitted, family-friendly and will have "pacers" (i.e. people's security) provided by coalition members. This unity and organizing will not end on May Day, it will continue. You can start TODAY by taking the following actions: Spread the flyer Like us on FACEBOOK; follow us on twitter @M1Solidarity; and find us on the web at www.MayDaySolidarity2012.org. TUESDAY ♦ MAY 1st  MAY DAY Solidarity at 4 pm at Union Square 14th Street and Broadway, south side of the park For those who can come early, 12 noon ≈ 4 pm rally and workshops throughout the afternoon. www.may1.info  or  www.MayDaySolidarity2012.org
