Waukesha South High School senior Alondra Arce marched because she believes immigrants belong. "We're not going to stay silent, and we're going to stay here and fight," she said. "This is our home and our land as well. We should all feel welcome and accepted." https://open.substack.com/pub/americasvoicecnn/p/may-day-round-up-as-immigrants-we?r=1psrs&utm_medium=ios #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay

"Through all of this pain, I continue to find strength in my faith and immense support from our community," said Kilmar's wife, Jennifer. "My brothers and sisters from CASA, members of the SMART union, allies, faith leaders—all of you continue to lift me up in the darkest of times. Kilmar, if you can hear me: I love you, know that your children and I are still fighting for you. And we will never give up." https://www.thebulwark.com/p/labor-goes-all-in-for-kilmar-abrego-garcia-may-day-unions-rallies?utm_source=post-email-title&publication_id=87281&post_id=162689762&utm_campaign=email-post-title&isFreemail=true&r=1psrs&triedRedirect=true&utm_medium=email #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay
“For an event in Lafayette Square in front of the White House, organizers expected 3,000 attendees to listen to speeches from Abrego Garcia’s wife, Jennifer Vasquez Sura, as well as union leaders and advocates. The actual turnout, they said, was more than 5,000.” #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay
"Labor goes all in for Kilmar."
“An injury to one is an injury to all," said AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler. "When Trump targets immigrant families like Kilmar’s and Rümeysa’s, he targets all workers.”

“We are the farmworkers, the construction workers, the custodians, the restaurant workers, and the factory workers. All of us who, day in and day out, go to work for a better future, regardless of where we come from,” farmworker Araceli said at a Salem rally. “As immigrants, we are the backbone of this country. Without our work, many industries would be left empty.” https://www.opb.org/article/2025/05/01/farmworker-immigrant-rights-protest-may-day-salem-pcun/ #MayDay #InternationalWorkersDay
"For Bertha, a domestic worker who has been in San Francisco for 34 years, rebuilding starts with standing up for her rights."
'We want people to know that they shouldn’t be scared, that we can push forward if we support each other,' said the Mujeres Unidas y Activas member. 'It’s important to be here and show that we’re united.'"

I don't know why my LinkedIn profile gets so few likes. 😝 ✊ 🌹
Maybe because LinkedIn is a tool of the oppressor.
Protest number six!
My town had a little protest for #InternationalWorkersDay. It was located on the sidewalk in front of a little strip mall that's right at the freeway entrance/exit, and they held it from 5:30-7:30 to get the commute home people. I worked from work today, and so I didn't actually arrive until a little after 6:00, but people were just coming and going. It was a little bit cool and windy, and I don't think people were expecting that, so they got cold and wanted to go home, but as people left more people came who were getting off work or finishing dinner. I stuck around for about 45 minutes.
There were about 100 people there, so probably overall more like 150-200 what with people coming and going.
Lots of good signs about workers' rights. Lots of positive beeping from people driving by.
