Unions are the foundation for many working families, providing rights to better working conditions, higher pay, and paid time leave. We’ll gather at 8:00 AM, arriving at the PALF Labor Day picnic around 9:00 AM.

This is a peaceful action at an easy walking pace, so everyone can participate (children are welcome). We’ll have water and shade on site; please prepare for the heat (i.e., wear hats and sunscreen). Musical instruments and signs are welcome.

Guardrails: This feeder march is an independent community action and is not sponsored, endorsed, or staffed by unions. We’re timing our arrival to coincide respectfully with the picnic program.

Partners / supporters: With support from community allies including Worker Power, UNITE HERE Local 11, Lamplighters, Working Families Power, Honest Arizona, and Care in Action.

Ideas for a signs/slogans: “Labor Solidarity” • “Proud Union Supporter” • “Workers Over Billionaires” • “I Support Collective Bargaining” • “Yes to Unions”

Accessibility: Easy, unhurried pace. Restrooms are available in the park. Reply to your registration email with specific access questions.”
