Thank you to everyone who joined our May Day celebration today! We spoke out for working class power and defending public education. We marched in solidarity with other local unions to Sylvester Park, where all members received free meals from various food trucks, listened to speeches and live music, and spoke about the importance of uniting as a broader labor movement 👏👏👏
