Dear John,
This Friday is May Day, International Workers Day; a day when workers and
social movements around the world will engage in demonstrations, strikes
and protests. Many frontline communities and organizations will come
together this week to support workers rights and demand that local
officials, Congress, the Trump Administration and corporations invest in
us, not Wall Street.
There are many things you can do to participate and join frontline
communities as we demand good jobs, safety and an investment in our health
and future, especially for essential workers, at this moment in history.
A FEW ARE LISTED BELOW AND WE HOPE YOU’LL PARTICIPATE AND SPREAD THE
WORD. IF YOUR ORGANIZATION OR COMMUNITY IS ORGANIZING SOMETHING, LET US
KNOW AND WE’LL HELP AMPLIFY YOUR ACTION. JUST TAG US @CJAOURPOWER
