The Labor Day Parade & This Year – Festival!

One big party!

Four years ago we began bringing together the Nashville community for the first labor day marches in many decades. Afterwards, we always hold a picnic. This year it’s going to grow, and we’re calling it a festival!

This September 3rd, come celebrate Labor Day with us! The parade begins at 3:30 at Coleman Park Community Center, and the festival begins at 5:30 at SEIU Local on 521 Central Ave. 

Come and hear about us, the workers, and our struggle to get better condiciones on the job, and our victories this year getting different hotels in the city to raise pay. From January to July this year, 52 housekeepers have organized, demanded and won raises amounting to $92,000 a year in the hotels where they work!

Also come hear about Music City Riders United (MCRU), a new bus riders group led by African American residents demanding major improvements in public transit as a civil rights cause affecting 10,000s of riders daily.

There will be food, live music, culture and dancing, art for kids and family-friendly fun.

Don’t miss it! Go ahead and RSVP on Facebook.
