From
ancient rites of spring to the fight for the eight-hour workday, May
Day has long been a call for a General Strike. This Strike Picnic weaves
celebration, art, and resistance together while providing a landing pad
for striking workers, shoppers, and students.
It will be a relaxed
alternative to the chaos that has plagued this nation. We will take time
to recharge, reflect and learn how to make our movement stronger.
Bring
Picnic blankets and food to share. We will lay out blankets and "plant"
the giant handmade flowers next to them.
Wear your Spring Best:
Revolutionary Spring Fairy Costumes encouraged, make your own crown at
the picnic!
Help Make our Picnic Bountiful and sign up to bring food or beverage to share! https://tinyurl.com/MayDayProspectPark
You
can also sign up to be part of the "moving garden" that will caravan at
5:00 p.m. from the picnic at The Peninsula to Church Ave and Ocean Parkway as
part of our weekly Freedom Friday joyful protest.
At 4:30 p.m., we will
pack up and carry butterfly puppets and giant hand made flowers for
about one mile in a joyful procession. Sign up here, scroll down to the

In honor of the General Strike, please try to do all shopping for the picnic the day before
Whether you can make it or not, please wear Red in solidarity!
