May Day in Coventry

03-05-2010 10:19

Yesterday was the first May Day celebration in Coventry for many years, organised by Coventry Against Racism. The organisers had planned to kick off the event with a march, followed by a "Festival" in Millenium Place. The police demanded a payment of £900 to close the street: and when organisers couldn't cough up, the march was banned.

All the same, some of the assembled May Day celebrators forgot about the ban and spontaneously took to the streets, reclaiming the road and holding a colourful procession from the Council House to Millenium place. Maybe just an act of token resistance -- but was great to see Coventry town centre give way to anarchic festivity on May Day, even if just for a brief pause. The parade was led by the banners of West Midlands No Borders: "asylum is not a crime"; "freedom of movement for all"; "no one is illegal"; and "working is not a crime".
