May Day rally, march to take place through downtown Tacoma

Protestors on May 1 will march from Tacoma’s Tollefson Plaza to the Northwest ICE Processing Center, part of a rally recognizing May Day that will protest President Donald Trump’s administration and its treatment of workers. The event will feature speakers from the labor movement and a coalition of organizations in the South Sound, including the Puyallup Water Warriors, the International Migrants Association and the Tacoma Education Association. Participants will march from Tollefson Plaza, 1548 Commerce St.

to the Northwest ICE Processing Center on the Tideflats after a series of speeches starting at 4 p.m. “Backed by billionaires like Elon Musk, the Trump administration seeks to intimidate, attack, and silence workers,” a news release from the coalition reads.



“We refuse to stand by while workers’ rights and safety are under assault.”.
