At 10:00am, union members, immigrants, and members of the community will gather at Union Park (Ashland and Lake) for a march for the rights of immigrant workers.

Following the march, please join us at the Haymarket Memorial (Des Plaines Ave. between Randolph and Lake) at 4:30 for a May Day celebration.

Around the world, May Day is celebrated as an international workers' day because of the events that occurred here 120 years ago. Here in Chicago, pioneers of the labor movement struggled to defend workers' rights, such as the 8-hour work day.

On May Day, we will celebrate their accomplishments and focus on the present day struggles for workers' rights here in the U.S. and throughout the world.
