May 1 Shut Trump Down
May Day is International Workers Day, and since 2006, it's been a national day of immigrant rights marches in the US. Immigrant rights organizations, unions, the California Women’s March and the Bay Area Climate Mobilization are supporting the call for massive marches and strikes this May Day. Will you join us on May 1 in striking or marching to shut down Trump's agenda?
It's time to fight the attacks on the freedom, dignity and human rights. It's time to RESIST. It's time to defend the humanity of each and every one of us.
For more resources on how to participate, beautiful posters and to find an event near you, visit May1.org.
You can help make May Day big!

If you don't have another organization, come meet at 11am at the PHILZ Coffee **NOTE CORRECTION** near Justin Herman Plaza (5 Embarcadero Center).

Let us stand up together for a world where human rights and equality are respected. We are fighting for a world in which immigrant families are no longer torn apart, in which every child gets a good public education, every parent can access affordable childcare, every family has quality healthcare, every senior can retire in dignity, and where working hard is enough to live out of poverty.
