May Day Strong Rallies

By Indivisible Northern AZ — FLAGSTAFF — Indivisible groups across Arizona stood shoulder to shoulder with working families on May Day in a statewide show of strength as part of the May Day Strong mobilization. From Flagstaff to Phoenix and beyond, community members gathered to declare that it’s time to put people over profits and take back power from the billionaires and politicians who are dismantling our livelihoods. The Flagstaff protest drew over 1200 people. A bigger-than-life sized puppet paraded up and down the sidewalk and was a highlight of the day.  Protest signs reflected a wide variety of concerns, from the destruction of jobs, gutting of public resources, and higher cost of living— all for the benefit of billionaires.  Protesters were joined by NAU students who gave speeches about the importance of supporting workers’ rights, affordable education, and a stronger social safety net. Flagstaff was just one of over 800 cities across the country to join the mass mobilization that was attended by hundreds of thousands of protestors.
