SUMMARY:May Day Roanoke Protest
DESCRIPTION:Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago\, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta—working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits\, healthcare over hedge funds\, housing over homelessness. \nMusk\, Trump and their fellow profiteers are trying to create a race to the bottom—on wages\, on benefits\, on dignity itself. They want to erase labor rights\, break our unions\, and silence immigrant voices. \nMay Day 2025 we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing\, healthcare\, fair wages\, union protection\, and safety—regardless of race\, zip code\, or immigration status. \nThey’re defunding our schools\, privatizing public services\, attacking unions\, and targeting immigrant families with fear and violence. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down. \nThis May Day\, we will turn the page. This is the beginning of a new era—one where working families lead\, immigrants are protected\, and no one is left behind. This is not charity. This is not a request. We are reclaiming our power from corporate elites\, and we will not be intimidated by Trump\, Musk\, or their billionaire backers. They’ve ruled for too long. Their time is up. \nSTOP THE BILLIONAIRE TAKEOVER. WE ARE THE MANY. THEY ARE THE FEW. THIS IS MAY DAY. JOIN US.

SUMMARY:Worker's Memorial Day Roanoke Event
DESCRIPTION:Join union members\, labor leaders\, elected officials and allies as we gather at Martin Luther King\, Jr. memorial in downtown Roanoke for a Workers Memorial Day event\, to remember those who have died and suffered illnesses or injuries on the job—including Virginians—in the past year. \nThe event will feature speakers sharing how workers and the labor movement won safety protections over time by demanding the government hold corporations accountable to protect workers on the job and organizing for safer working conditions. Speakers will also highlight how hard-won progress is at serious risk as President Trump threatens to cut staff\, defund or outright eliminate federal job safety agencies\, which would have critical effects on Virginia’s funding and our working people
