Mankato, get ready for a May Day Week of Action!

COPAL MN's Mankato office is hosting an event supporting workers in Minnesota.

Learn about the origins of International Workers’ Day, the 1886 Chicago protests, and how the struggle continues today for immigrant workers across Minnesota. Then, take action to change the narrative!
