Mayday

In the shadow of the recent FBI sting on an allegeded anarchist plot to blow up a random bridge in northern Ohio, a group of Central Ohio radicals held an afternoon cookout celebrating international workers day in the West Side park named after notorious governor James Rhodes.  The picnic was in solidarity with the general strike that was called by the occupy movement with over half of the people in attendance calling off work to attend. 

A ton of Mayday events are going off in the Twin Cities on the 125th anniversary of International Workers Day. Get Ready!

The Mayday parade; an annual and much loved south Minneapolis community event. Each year, the celebration begins as a planning session made up of a small and dedicated group of local residents.
