Call out for Cardiff Mayday 2009

Calan Mai | 04.05.2008 23:17 | Migration | Workers' Movements

Calan Mai is the 1st May - On this day Mayday rallies, marches & cultural events happen all around the world, there is scarcely a capital city in Europe without a MayDay parade, Cardiff is notable for not holding a regular event. Indeed there has not been a proper marking of Mayday in Wales since Social Forum Cymru 06 in Aberystwyth.



Some of the most inspiring protests this years were grouped around Euromayday. The demands surrounding the protests for EuroMayDay 008 are:

* full legalization for all persecuted migrants
* self-organizing and unionizing rights freed from state repression
* unconditional basic income
* a european living wage
* free access to culture, knowledge, and skills
* the right to cheap housing

We call for a similar themed events to take place in Cardiff on 1st May 2009!
