DESCRIPTION:REGIONAL MARCH FOR DIGNITY AND RESISTANCE\n\nOn May 1, 2012, communities 
 from across the Bay Area will unite in Oakland and join together in a 
 regional march for Dignity and Resistance. We will meet at Fruitvale 
 Plaza/BART at 3pm and march to San Antonio Park (Foothill Boulevard, 
 between 16th and 18th) and then Downtown Oakland.\n\nFrom San Jose to San 
 Francisco to Santa Rosa to Sacramento to Stockton, we are inviting all 
 workers – employed and unemployed, paid and unpaid – to join us in a 
 family friendly, community inclusive march. The March for Dignity and 
 Resistance is being organized by a coalition of activists from a wide 
 variety of groups with different politics and organizing backgrounds. 
 Together we will fight for the life we want to live and build the world we 
 want to live in.\n\nMAY 1st AND OAKLAND\n\nWorldwide the poor, 
 disenfranchised, and communities of color are rising in solidarity and 
 resistance. May Day is International Workers Day, a day for workers across 
 the globe to stand together in unity and celebrate this resistance. The 
 1886 strike in Chicago, IL (Haymarket massacre) originated International 
 Workers Day, and planted the seed to fight for an eight-hour workday around 
 the world. In the United States, May Day rallies have highlighted the 
 importance of immigrant rights to worker struggles. On May 1, 2012 we will 
 build on current struggles by holding a mass march through 
 Oakland.\n\nOakland has been a key site of resistance, from the vibrancy of 
 recent struggles to the legacy of the Black Panthers and 1946 General 
 Strike. Oakland is also a microcosm of predatory capitalist oppression, 
 from foreclosures and school shutdowns, to police brutality and 
 deportations, to income inequality and debt. This May Day we are therefore 
 calling on forces from around the Bay Area to converge on Oakland for a 
 massive show of solidarity, to celebrate our Resistance and lay claim to 
 our Dignity. \n https://www.indybay.org/newsitems/2012/04/17/18711472.php
