May Day Strong at UUCB
May Day Strong at UUCB will be held on Friday, May 1, 10 a.m. - 1:30 p.m.
Join us for an all-ages lunch and morning program in support of May Day Strong, a national call to action to demand a nation that puts workers over billionaires, with an invitation to refuse business as usual through No School. No Work. No Shopping. We'll start at 10am in Fellowship Hall with coffee, donuts, singing, and a story for all ages. At 10:30, we’ll learn about the history of the general strike with a presentation by Dr. Mike Wallace, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, followed by a short film about the organizing behind the ICE resistance in Minneapolis. Kids are welcome to join for these activities or take part in crafts, games, and play with adult volunteers. At 12pm we’ll share a potluck lunch* and conversation about how we as individuals and a congregation can prepare for a general strike and similar efforts. At 1:00 we’ll talk about what comes next and end by 1:30. We encourage folks to continue their May Day observance around town at the 50501 May Day Skills & Solidarity Festival.
*Contributions to the potluck are welcome, but we understand if you can't bring anything this time. We will have plenty of food to share!
