People across Minnesota are speaking out on labor issues this May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day.
In Minneapolis, people gathered for a rally and march at 4:30 p.m. Friday along Lake Street. Organizers say this year carries new urgency amid ongoing federal immigration enforcement.
Organizer Christine Hauschildt said she expected thousands of attendees and representation from both labor and immigrant rights groups. “We’re expecting groups from all areas of activism,” Hauschildt said.
Molly Collins, a teacher in Minneapols, said she came to the rally to speak out on both immigration and rights for workers. “I'm concerned about the increasing violence and brutality of, immigration enforcement that we saw here in Minneapolis,” Collins said.
“I'm also really interested in supporting workers and our city to have a livable city, livable wage,” she said.
