Starting at Nathan Phillips Square (Toronto City Hall).

maydaytoronto.org

Every year on May 1st grassroots organizations in Toronto rally and march to mark International Worker’s Day, for migrant and worker’s rights and in support of Indigenous people’s struggles. Themed around the most pressing issues of the day and committed to people’s struggles against oppression and exploitation, May Day unites people’s struggles for self-determination and liberation. We continue this tradition in 2015, rallying and marching against colonial and capitalist attacks on our communities here and Canadian imperialism’s plunder and attacks on peoples across the world.

Our march will end at St. James Park, with inspiring and raucous performances that you want to stick around for. More details TBA.

Specifically, this year, our May Day organizing seeks to highlight struggles around the following eight themes:
- Indigenous sovereignty and self-determination;
- Migrant workers' resistance to border imperialism;
- Solidarity with working class struggle globally;
- Anti-poverty and anti-austerity organizing;
- Student strikes and academic labour battles against neoliberalization;
- Environmental Justice;
- Militant rank and file labour movements;
- Gender Justice

~ACCESSIBILITY INFORMATION~

Getting to Nathan Phillips Square (Toronto City Hall):

Nathan Phillips Square is located at the intersection of Queen and Bay, very close to Queen and Osgoode subway stations, which have elevator access.

During the March:

There will be an accessible van with a capacity to fit two mobility devices and space for two passenger seats with us for the duration of the march. There might also be some extra space in the passenger seats of one of the sound trucks.

After the March:

For people using mobility devices, the accessible van will drive you back to accessible subway station (likely Queen) once the event concludes. If there are more people than the van can fit, it will run multiple shifts.

If you have accessibility related concerns at any point during the rally or the march, please approach one of our marshalls for assistance.
