May Day, is May 1, which is Thursday this week. May Day was started in 1886 to observe the struggles of workers in the labor movement protesting for shorter hours. The Soviet communists later adopted May Day as a way to encourage workers in Western democracies to embrace communism, not capitalism.
Now, May Day has morphed into an anti-Trump rally. Similar to Hands Off, the Tesla Takedown and 50501 actions, the May Day Strong event is financed by Democrat mega-donors behind MoveOn, Indivisible Greenwich, Working Families Power and the National Education Association.
This is how the May Day group promotes the event here: "Musk, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on civil liberties, health care, the environment, labor, vulnerable populations and on dignity itself.
They’re defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is an attack on people and democracy itself."
In Greenwich a May Day Strong event will be held in front of the Board of Education's Havemeyer headquarters at 290 Greenwich Avenue from 6:15 to 7 pm this Thursday evening.
Between the Lines - Don't be fooled by this protest. It is simply electioneering by the extreme wing of the Democrat Party. Unfortunately, it will interrupt a wonderful opening evening of Art to the Avenue meant to bring the community together, not divide it.
