Celebrate Olympia’s Working People On May Day At Heritage Park

The Thurston – Lewis – Mason Central Labor Council and its new committee, the South Sound Labor School, invite all working people and families in Olympia and the surrounding area to join them for a May Day Celebration from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Heritage Park (5th Ave. SW, Olympia WA 98501) on International Workers Day – May 1, 2023.

“With this event, TLM CLC joins millions around the world in celebrating International Workers’ Day and hopes to unite our diverse communities around the common struggles for dignity, democracy, and justice,” said Alice Rosewater with AFSCME 3758. “Almost everybody is expected to work for a living, but not all those people see themselves as part of the working class. TLM CLC hopes to help change that with our May Day celebration, to show what unites us and to promote our common bonds as we seek to build a better future.”

All working people in our region are welcome to enjoy the event’s live music, food, and games. They’ll also have the chance to hear from notable figures in the South Sound’s Labor community such as
• Bob Guenther (TLM CLC)
• Mike Yestramski (AFSCME Council 28)
• Dylan Lux (Starbucks Workers United Tumwater)
• Clint Bryson (IBEW 76)
• Rachelle Martin (TLM CLC)
• Kimberly Klontz (BLET 238)
• Mark McLaughlin (UFCW 367)
