Oakland Sin Fronteras invites you to join us on May Day for an International Workers’ Day march and general strike. This is a family and community oriented march to build power and fight back against the attacks on our communities. We uplift the people’s call for a general national strike on May Day to show our power on this economic system. Get ready with your signs, organize your family, friends and neighbors and join our May Day March!

Accommodations: There will be a designated section at the front of the March for youth and people with disabilities who wish to lead the March. Several accessibility cars will follow the March for folks who cannot or would prefer not to walk (contact Jenny to reserve a seat Jenny.tighe [at] gmail.com).

Please show up to the event scent-free. We will have community security, medics, food and water distribution throughout the full program and public restrooms at the end of the March.

We will have Spanish translation and ASL interpretation for the program. Please contact Jenny (Jenny.tighe [at] gmail.com) with any accessibility questions or concerns.
