In the sunny spring of 2010 join us in celebration of May Day with our black flags hoisted high! We invite everyone from the anti-authoritarian community for an all ages, all body types, all orientations and family friendly gathering in the park.*
--- Dolores Park ---

--- May 1 ---

3:00-4:30 The event will begin with food, drink, face painting, and merriment with tabling from:
* AK Press

Shit yeah mayday!**

* Safety people will be easily identifyable at the event by PURPLE BANDANAS. They will include a medic, police liasion, 2 persons experienced in conflict resolution, 3 persons focused on children, and an information person. The bandana does not represent any form of authority and we will not police you. We will do our best to ensure the event is a safe space for our community members, with the acknowledged limitation of being at Dolores Park on any given Saturday.
** Please contact us if you are interested in tabling, serving food, performing in any way, or can think of another way to contribute. Think you have an idea to make this event better? We're very open to shaping the event with others!
