Last Friday, Bluegrass DSA helped organize and tabled at the May Day event held in front the Lexington courthouse. 🌹

Co-Chair Noah Cornett spoke on the history of the holiday, Kentucky’s deep roots in class struggle, and the importance of real solidarity. ✊

A massive thanks to all the members who helped table, all the union organizers who spoke, and the fighters who came before us to build a better world.

We must now continue their struggle.

Solidarity Forever 🎶

This May Day, Bluegrass DSA co-chair Noah Cornett spoke to the crowd in Lexington on the history of the holiday, Kentucky’s strong roots in class struggle, and the importance of Solidarity. ✊✊

A huge thanks to those who showed up to commemorate the fighters who came before, and celebrate those who are fighting today.

Solidarity Forever 🌹

On May 1st, 1886, more than 300,000 workers from over 13,000 businesses across the country went on strike to fight for the 8 hour work day. Three days later, in protest of police violence against striking workers, and in support of the 8 hour day, thousands of workers met at Haymarket Square in Chicago to demand justice.

After a bomb was detonated, the police opened fire on the crowd of protestors, murdering seven and injuring 40 more. In the months that followed, eight organizers were unjustly arrested, falsely convicted, and four were executed.

In 1889 the Second International, a meeting of socialist parties and labor organizations from around the world, announced that May 1st would be “International Workers’ Day”, to celebrate the general strike and show support for those martyred in Chicago.

So this Friday, May 1st, we ask for you to join us at the Lexington Courthouse Plaza (120 N Limestone) from 4:30-6:30 PM.

Meet your local unions, build organizational power, and stand in solidarity with your fellow workers.🌹

🏳️‍⚧️An event so nice, we're doing it twice! 🏳️‍⚧️

Join us for our SECOND Trans Clothing Swap!

🗓️ Tue, April 7th,
🕡 6:30-10pm,
📍110 Luigart Court, Unit 250 Lexington, KY 40508 (it's above LEX Center for Creative Reuse)

And because we had so many clothes donated last time, this swap is more of a "giveaway" than a "swap"! Our chapter members have worked hard to sort through all the donations, organizing them, and washing everything to make sure every item is ready to be found by you on Tuesday!! So, you don't have to bring clothes to exchange if you can't or don't want to!!

This is an 18+ event, and allies are welcome, so come hang out for good vibes, q***r vibes, and socialist vibes (as always)! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈🌹
