It’s May Day 2021 and, per usual, Portlanders held serval events around the city focused on workers rights, the largest of which was a caravan for migrant workers’ rights that ended in front of the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Southwest Portland.
May Day, a nickname for May 1st, is International Workers Day, a holiday that is recognized by over 90 countries.
The migrant workers’ rights caravan and rally was led by International Migrants Alliance, a global alliance of organizations by and for migrants, refugees, and displaced peoples.
