For Worker’s rights – for immigrants rights – to save democracy

May 1 @ 5:30 PM on Lynn Common Bandstand

March with members of the New Lynn Coalition AFL CIO and many other Labor organizations to support each other and those who are too fearful to attend.

From Jeff Crosby Labor Organizer ” The May Day event this year will focus on Defending Democracy, and as always, Workers Rights and Immigrant Rights.  We have focused on these general themes since immigrant workers rejuvenated May Day in Lynn in 2006.  Specifically, this year we will also support GE workers in their contract negotiations with General Electric, and fighting Mass Deportations and for Affordable Housing for All.  We will meet on the Lynn Commons and march to the GE plant, where we will be joined by GE workers from other states and, visa permitting, from Italy.”

Please share with your Democratic committees and friends and please attend. We want a huge turn out to show our North WShore Labor Coalition that Democrats across the North Shore Support Labor and Immigrants

On Saturday, April 19 starting at noon at Riley Plaza in Salem, protesters will also be present for a day of speakers and standouts to “usher this new revolution deposing the MAGA insurrection,” according to organizers from “Meeting of the Minds Salem,” a podcast hosted by Salem resident Jerry Bowyer. Attendees are encouraged to bring signs.

This follows a “Hands Off” rally that saw several hundred protesters fill Riley Plaza on April 5, amid a wave of protests that Saturday across the country to decry the Trump administration and DOGE’s actions on numerous issues.

On Saturday, April 19, protesters will pick up where they left off on April 5 with demonstrations opposing the Trump administration’s actions nationally, including locally in Salem and Marblehead.

The No More Kings rally for democracy in Marblehead, organized by The League of Women Voters of Marblehead, will involve a peaceful assembly to “stand against the rise of authoritarianism in our country,” while simultaneously celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution.

The Marblehead assembly will start at the Marblehead Old Town House at 1 p.m., where the Longfellow poem “Paul Revere’s Ride” will be read from the steps. The group will then walk to Abbot Hall at 188 Washington St. and assemble near the flagpole to hear a reading of the Declaration of Independence.

The program is expected to last about one hour. Families are welcome, and attendees are encouraged to bring signs. The event is sponsored by the League of Women Voters of Marblehead and the Marblehead Alliance for Democracy.
