Boston May Day 2011 at the Rose Kennedy Greenway Park

Let's commemorate International Workers Day this year with a rally at 12 noon at the Rose Kennedy Greenway Park, across from the Haymarket T Station, in the corner of Cross and Hanover streets in Boston. 

After the rally we will take the T to East Boston to join in the East Boston March to the May 1 rally in Chelsea. 

We demand: 

Making sense of these crazy elections... Where do our social movements in Boston go from here? What role might "One Nation Working Together" play in this dangerous time?

The "One Nation Working Together" rally brought together an unprecedented progressive coalition in Washington on October 2. Nationally, One Nation plans to continue its ambitious collaboration effort after the November election - when such collaboration between labor, civil rights, environmental, socal justice, housing, peace, and youth groups will be more important than ever.
