May Day Rally (Hartford)
2025-05-01 10:30 - 11:30 | Bushnell Park, Bushnell Park, Hartford, CT, 06103, United States
May 1, May Day, also known as International Workers’ Day has deep roots in the labor movement, commemorating the struggles of workers for fair labor practices, including the pivotal fight for the eight-hour workday that began in the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of our ongoing pursuit of workers’ rights and social justice.
May Day is not only a time to honor the achievements of those who came before us, but also an opportunity to stand in solidarity with our labor partners and advocate for the rights of all workers. It highlights the need for continued activism in the face of national challenges, ensuring that we strive for improved working conditions and fair wages for everyone. To celebrate this important day, there are two unity marches being held in Connecticut, hosted by state labor partners.

May 1 at 10:30 a.m. at Bushnell Park in Hartford
May 1 at 5 p.m. at New Haven Green in New Haven

This is a great opportunity to come together as a unified labor community and amplify our collective voice.
