COUNTER-PROTEST:
Pro-Trump, Anti-LGBTQ Hate Group MAYDAYUSA
This Saturday, 5/24, 12 - 9pm
Cal Anderson Park
Antiqueer, transphobic, anti-reproductive healthcare hate tour MayDayUSA (deceptive name, right?!) is making a stop in Seattle to spread their bigotry and cry about queer people existing under the guise of a family-friendly event complete with free children’s haircuts. Community members and organizations are rallying to counter the event by celebrating our queerness and say no to hate. Seattle DSA’s Mobilization Committee is coordinating with multiple groups to give these bigoted astroturfers a proper Seattle welcome.
This is expected to be an all-day event at Cal Anderson Park. Specific location of the hate rally is TBD but indicators point to the Bobby Morris Playfields on the southern end of the park. A group of local musicians and artists are organizing a punk show at the skatepark on the southwest corner of the park (see attached image) and other actions will be occurring throughout the afternoon and evening in and around Cal Anderson.
We will plan to stage our contingent adjacent to the skatepark starting at noon; look for the DSA banner or red flag.
