On May Day demonstrators in Palo Alto joined those calling for No Work, No School, No Shopping.

They met up in front of the Tesla showroom in Stanford Shopping Center at 5pm and started with singing led by Mitchell Park Band. The Raging Grannies and the May Day Singers revved up the mood with songs of solidarity. Then they marched through the shopping center.

The Wolves coordinate a march regularly through Stanford Shopping Center (every Saturday) from noon to 2pm and the mall recognizes their right to hold peaceful demonstrations under the Pruneyard Decision. See link for description of the court ruling that made this possible.
