People’s World May Day Town Hall to feature national labor leaders

This May Day, it’s time for every worker—organized and unorganized, employed and unemployed—to hit the streets! Workers, students, immigrants, and families in over 1,000 cities nationwide will demand one thing: Workers Over Billionaires. They’re pledging: “No Work. No School. No Shopping.”

As part the effort to make this May Day the biggest ever, People’s World is sponsoring a special online town hall event this Thursday, April 16, at 8:00 p.m. Eastern time. A panel of labor movement leaders from across the country will lead a discussion to strategize and plan for International Workers Day.

Confirmed participants:

Fred RedmondSecretary-Treasurer, AFL-CIO

Sylvia Chapman—CWA District 4 Staff Representative

Faye Guenther—President, UFCW Local 3000

Ed Ott—Former Executive Director of the NYC Central Labor Council and organizer with the New York Left Labor Project

Caitlyn Clark—National Organizer and Director of Essential Workers for Democracy
