DEFEND IMMIGRANT RIGHTS!
RECLAIM WORKERS’ POWER!
What: May Day March and Rally in Solidarity with Local Labor Struggles
and Immigrant Workers.
When/Where: Sunday May 1st.
3PM- March from Jefferson Square Park (Gough/Turk 10 minute
walk from Civic Center BART)
5PM- Rally at Dolores Park (18th/Dolores)
7PM-Midnitght- Town-Hall meeting, food, music, film screening, at

9PM- Live Music Performance by Entartete Kunst at CellSpace.
Who: Anarchist Action, Bay Area Anarchist Council, Industrial Workers of the World- Bay Area Chapter.
May Day is International Workers Day. It was born out of the struggles of workers here in America in 1886, when general strikes broke out across the land and were met with bloody repression - including the Haymarket Massacre in Chicago, followed by the frame-up and state-sanctioned executions of several anarchist labor organizers.
Since then, it has been observed worldwide as International Workers Day. This year once again, all over the globe, working people will take to the streets to celebrate their struggle for workers' rights and opposition to the capitalist’s wars.
We stand for a world free of bosses and borders. We are fighting and struggling so that one-day we will abolish them and take back control of our own lives, workplaces, and communities. This May Day, we will take back the streets of this city and stand in solidarity with the struggles of immigrant workers.
We will gather on Sunday May 1st at 3 PM at Jefferson Square Park (Gough/Turk) and march to Dolores Park in San Francisco’s Mission district. There we will hold a rally including speakers from recent and ongoing local labor and immigrant workers struggles with a report-back from the recent delegation, which went to Arizona protesting the racist vigilantes Minuteman Project. The march and rally will be followed by food, music, and a free movie screening at 7PM at Cellspace (2050 Bryant St). We will also hold a brief town-hall style meeting at Cellspace where we will discuss plans for fighting back against the proposed cuts and fare hike of San Francisco’s public transportation system.
Following the film screening there will be a live performance by Entartete Kunst (a class-conscious, worker-owned hip-hop and electronic music collective).
In Solidarity,
Anarchist Action

THhe organizers of the Gay Pride Parade Inc. are set to file a protest with the city to suspend the May Day march. said
David Collham this is a blaintant parady of our event designed to divert our attendence and profits. Act up has taken a stance that this is not going to happen, joined by Gay Shame, who stated that this is just another exploitation of the gay rights movement for money.

decentralize the mainstream LGBT Pride celebrations that have mushroomed in privileged "First World" cities in recent years. And, since Gay Shame has grown beyond that --- taking on certain features of a social movement or a thought virus or a direct action affinity group --- it seems to me our Shame takes on another meaning, too. Shaming is our strategy as outing was for an earlier generation of queer activists. It can be a powerful tactical weapon; it's what we do; it's a verb, not a noun.
I agree the GayPride Parade was here first it is just fair that they have priority in san fran. hay! you could just go to oakland for your parade
can't imagine how serious this is, since the actup link didn't work, and the GS one didn't show me anything having to do with this, but as for "being here first", mayday goes back to the 1880s when anarchists fighting for an 8 hour work day were attacked by police, the several were set up in the legal system, resulting in the suicide of one, and execution of a few others. May Day is the anarchist Stonewall. and anyway, it's a big fucking city, why can't there be more than one march?
It sounds more like typical Smashy disinfo:
