Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.

Musk, Trump, and their fellow profiteers are accelerating the capitalist race to the bottom for working class people — on wages, on benefits, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights, break our unions, and silence immigrant voices.

May Day 2025 we are standing up. Organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety—regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status is something of value to us all.

In Montana, we have a strong and proud history of Labor Organizing. Across the world, and in Missoula specifically, the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW or the One Big Union) has been a huge contributor fighting for safer conditions and the rights of workers. In 1909, IWW organizers arrived in Missoula to support timber workers and won the first major free speech fight on the corner of Front and Higgins.

We will be replicating this historic event by gathering at Free Speech Corner, discussing: labor issues, attacks on programs that support the working class, and ways to get involved with community organizations.

STOP THE BILLIONAIRE WAR ON WORKING PEOPLE.

AN INJURY TO ONE, IS AN INJURY TO ALL.

THIS IS MAY DAY, JOIN US.

*There are other May Day events planned by other community groups and organizations. We welcome all participation on this day to honor working class people. Event information for other celebrations and rallies can be found on social media. Please reach out to Missoula IWW on Instagram or in our email if you have any questions about this specific event.

SOLIDARITY FOREVER
