May Day! International Workers Day at De Anza
|
|
About the Event May Day, also known as International Worker’s Day, is celebrated to honor the struggle for working people’s rights. It began as a worldwide display of solidarity following the 1886 Haymarket Rally in Chicago where unionized workers were killed while striking in support of the 8-hour workday. Since 2006 it has also been a time to actively protest for the rights of immigrants. De Anza College asks you to participate in this event highlighting the history of the fight for the rights of workers and immigrants, the contributions of essential workers, and become more familiar with what it has meant for many of us to be in unions. Special Guests Speakers: Jean Cohen, President, South Bay Labor Council; Salvador Bustamante, LUNA, Latinos in Action; Akubundu Amazu-Lott, The All-African People’s Revolutionary Party (A-APRP); FHDA Employee Unions Poetry Performance by Santa Clara County Poet: Laureate Janice Sapigao |

Many people know that Japanese Americans throughout the U.S. commemorate Feb. 19 each year as a “Day of Remembrance” to remember the forced removal and mass incarceration of their community during World War II. But few know its connection to the grassroots struggle that Japanese Americans waged to win redress for the massive violation of their rights.
