Celebrate International Workers' Day

11am: Sign-Making, Entertainment
12pm: Rally
1pm: March

May Day has a rich history going back to the fight for an eight-hour workday. In Portland in 2006 we saw the largest mobilization in Portland's history with estimates of up to 40,000 people in attendance. Now, faced with a deepening economic crisis and increasing attacks on workers and immigrants, it is time for our movements to come together and support each other in the struggle for economic justice.

The Portland May Day Coalition is made up of grassroots community organizations, labor unions, faith communities, and individuals. We formed in conjunction with the Portland Immigrant Rights Coalition (PIRC) and Jobs with Justice (JwJ) in order to organize our communities in solidarity against the grave injustices we’ve experienced as a city and nation - particularly in regards to workers’ rights.

Portland Plan, Phase II

THERE'S TALKING ABOUT IT. AND THEN THERE'S DOING SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

OUR FUTURE, THAT IS. We understand that jobs, education, equity, public health and sustainability are important to the people of Portland — because you told us. Now it’s time to take the next steps. The upcoming series of Portland Plan workshops will be about setting direction — identifying our goals and choosing targets to tell us whether we met them.

So whether you’re new to the Portland Plan or you participated in Phase I, we want to hear your ideas and dig deeper into the issues that Portland faces.

Please join your neighbors and fellow Portlanders at one of the workshops listed below. Help sort through this information, tell us what’s important and chart the course for Portland’s future!
