We welcome Valley community members to this fun, free celebration of labor, climate justice, human rights, and Beltane on Sunday, May 1st at the Calvin Center: rain or shine! Full line-up below...
Bring traditions old and new together on this day as we find ways to build health and strength together for nature, workers, and each other.
We seek to run a community-run celebration of care and people-power bringing together supporters of the International Labor, celebrants of Beltane, those supporting immigrants, climate justice and eco-conscious people, and other supporters of justice, care, and support of a sustainable planet, fair workplace, and inclusive communities.
