Comrade Friend,

May Day is this Thursday & we're kicking off a full week of events, starting tonight with our monthly social. As socialist workers, we celebrate May Day in honor of the Haymarket martyrs, who fought for the eight hour work-week & were criminalized for a May Day protest in 1886. Read more about the history of May Day from our National Political Committee, and read on to see how you can celebrate with Metro Detroit DSA this week. 

UPCOMING EVENTS

Socialist Social

Tuesday, April 29 | 7 PM @ Urbanrest Brewing

Our monthly social is a casual gathering of comrades. Come meet like-minded folks! 


May Day March & Rally (x2)

Thursday, May 1st | @ Roosevelt Park & DIA

Join us May 1st in support of the Detroit May Day March & Rally at Roosevelt Park in Detroit. MD-DSA has endorsed this Rally & March alongside labor union locals, left organizations and non-profits and will be coalition building against fascism and in solidarity with workers around the world. Rally begins at 3, march at 5pm.

RSVP 
here and let us know if you can help canvass the crowd at either of the marches! National DSA has also joined the coalition organizing the May Day Strong event at the DIA starting at 4pm.

We highly encourage everyone to 
RSVP and attend one or both of these events on International Workers Day, Thursday, May 1st. We will be organizing for possible carpooling between marches to help with parking, and the two rallies are supposed to merge.
