[NOLAwelcomingcommittee] Fw: [noheat] N.O. May Day:Jobs, Housing, & Justice

[howellnow]

Hi,
 
  I had received emails in the past from the srlcwelcoming committee in the past.  I did help build the Second Line for Education and Healthcare.
 
  Yes, I am aware that May Day this year coincides with the last Saturday of  Jazz Fest.  Still, I've lived in New Orleans through the past 26 Jazz Fests  in New Orleans and I know that many New Orleanians, in fact most, won't be going to the festival.  This might have something to do with the daily fee, this year its $60, to attend the event. I suspect most, if not all, of the homeless people in the vicinity of the New Orleans Mission who have expressed support for the May Day action won't be able  to afford the entrance fee to the Jazz and Heritage Festival.  It's worth noting that those who want to attend both the May Day Action and Jazz Fest will have plenty of  time to do both.  The May Day Action on Oretha Castle Haley should be finished by 1pm.  
 
      Saturday is the international day of the working class.  It's been the international day of the working class for 110 years.  New Orleans is one of the cities where workers participated in the original May Day working class mobilzation.  And the working class of New Orleans needs to mobilize if the rampant class and ethnic cleansing now underway is to be brought to a halt.So,  May Day seems to me to be a good day to attempt such a mobilization, even on a Jazz Fest Saturday.

I am sorry, but you chose the Last Saturday of the Jazz Fest and an election day. Are you nuts?
