May Day Events In the Central Valley Towns of Fresno and Reedley
On May 1, International Workers Day, rallies and marches are planned for cities in the San Francisco Bay Area, Santa Cruz County, and the Central Valley. Demonstrators will call for action in defense of jobs, families, immigrant rights, and unions.
In the Central Valley towns of Fresno and Reedley the day will be marked with songs of the labor movement. Speaking events will focus on worker-related topics from farms to the threat of fundamentalism to justice and sustainability. A "March for Legalization" will start at Eaton Plaza in downtown Fresno at 5pm.
