SUMMARY:May Day Strong: Richmond
DESCRIPTION:STOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US. \n📍 WHERE: Monroe Park\n📅 WHEN: 5:00pm May 1st 2025\n🚶 MARCHING: 6:00pm along Franklin Street to the Capitol \n  \nMap of the Richmond area including parking\, bathrooms\, and the march path (along Franklin): \n \n\nSpeakers include:\n\nEmilie Luse\, Institute for Contemporary Art at VCU\n79th District Democratic Delegate Rae Cousins\nMary Bauer\, Executive Director ACLU VA\nNatalie Hoskins\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\nMelissa Vaughn\, President of the Virginia Center for Public Press\nAntoni Szachowicz\, 50501 Virginia\n\nPartner organizations include Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia\, RVA Indivisible\, Center for Common Ground. \n  \n \nWhy we’re here:\nAcross 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 trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages\, on benefits\, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights\, break our unions\, and silence immigrant voices. \nMay Day 2025 we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing\, healthcare\, fair wages\, union protection\, and safety—regardless of race\, zip code\, or immigration status. They’re defunding our schools\, privatizing public services\, attacking unions\, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. Using the principles of nonviolence and peaceful protest\, we will stand together and stand strong. \nThis May Day\, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead\, immigrants are protected\, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites\, and we will not be intimidated by Trump\, Musk\, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up. \n  \nA note about safety:\nPlease be sure to bring water and snacks with you to the march! Please do not feel pressured to finish the walk if you get tired or hot\, safety first always! \n  \nAccessibility:\nIf mobility is a challenge but you would still like to participate in the march\, please drive behind our team’s guide cars at the end of the protest and wave your signs\, honk\, bang pots and pans or otherwise make as much noise as you want to support the cause! This will also help ensure our marchers stay safe while walking.
