May Day Solidairity Picnic and Rally in Washington Park

In the US, May Day is a traditional day of solidarity with workers. Itnrecent years, support for immigrants has been a major theme, with an increased emphasis this year in opposing the attacks by ICE and in solidarity with those killed by ICE in Minneapolis. I covered two events in Albany, The first was a community solidarity picnic and rally in Washington Park, with many groups participating, including We Are Revolutionary, Palestinian Rights Committee, various DSA chapters, United Tenants, Green Party, Capital District Sanctuary Committee, and Black Lives Matter. We unfortunately lost our interview with BLM but we hear from Greg Giorgio of the Industrial Workers of the World; Pater LaVenia of the Green Party; and Saturn from the Porcupines.
