We will gather in front of the Harris Teeter to show our support for the Justice at Smithfield Campaign being waged by workers. They are calling on Harris Teeter to stop selling Smithfield products. Some of the Smithfield workers are in a rural prison in GA as a result of recent raids (see http://www.smithfieldjustice.com). We will than march to the vigil called by the local Latin@ community at the Charlotte Mecklenburg Government Center, 600 E. 4th St.

May 1 is also significant to hold a rally against the war as it is the date in 2003 that Bush declared "Mission Accomplished" aboard an aircraft carrier for a staged photo-op. We also expect Bush to deliver his veto Tuesday of the Iraq War funding bill. The anti-war movement must be in the streets to sat NO MORE MONEY FOR WAR!Call for anti-war movement to support May Day 2007.
