Greenbrier County Democratic Women’s Club Plans May Day Rally in Lewisburg
The Greenbrier County Democratic Women’s Club, in partnership with the Greater Greenbrier Valley Indivisible, will hold a May Day rally on Thursday, May 1st, from 4:30 PM to 5:30 PM. The event will take place at the Green Space adjacent to Lewisburg City Hall.
Organizers say the rally is being held in honor of International Workers' Day, a date recognized globally in commemoration of the 1886 labor strikes in Chicago, where workers demanded an eight-hour workday—a movement that became a defining moment in labor history.
The rally will focus on supporting workers’ rights both in the United States and around the world. Organizers are calling attention to issues including the protection of public healthcare programs like Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security; full funding for public schools; and support for farmers and rural communities.
“We are rallying because our lives, our families, our public schools, and our healthcare are worth fighting for,” the event notice states.
In addition to advocating for working families, the groups plan to speak out against the concentration of wealth and influence among billionaires, and to oppose attacks on immigrants and minority communities.
The rally is described as peaceful and non-violent. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own handmade signs, though additional signs will be available.
Organizers invite all members of the community to attend and bring friends, emphasizing solidarity and civic engagement as key themes of the event.
