On Sunday, come watch or participate in the 35th annual Heart of the Beast May Day Parade. Since 1975, Minnesotans have marched in the May Day Parade to celebrate community, diversity, and the possibility of change that accompanies the coming of Spring. The parade this year has a labor theme to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the pivotal 1934 Minneapolis Teamsters Strike. This strike helped shift the balance of power in our city to working people, and was instrumental in winning the legal right to organize in our country. Many of the key organizers in the strike were former members of the IWW.. As such, our union plays a key role in the storyline for the parade. Meet up with us to watch the festivities, or if you’d like, even join in the Starbucks Workers Union contingent in the “Join In” section at the end of the parade.

Additionally, on Saturday, come celebrate more with the IWW, Sisters Camelot and thirteen bands at the Sisters Camelot headquarters, 2657 32nd Ave. S. Doors open at 5 PM. The bands are: Brian Whitson and the Night Wolves, Truck Stops Across America, Ogre Smash Death Boom, Holy!Holy!Holy!, Building Better Bombs, Bla Bla Blacksheep, Nancy Drew Crew, Junkyard Empire, Shannon Murray, Bouncer Fighter, Clawthroat, Black Sails, Terracide, ShugE. Some of these bands should sound familiar if you were at our benefit show in January. It was a great show, and this one should be even greater! The suggested donation is $5-$10. Proceeds will benefit the IWW and Sisters Camelot.
