May Day demonstrators march west on Hollywood Blvd in Los Angeles on Wednesday, May 1, 2024. Thousands of people gathered in Hollywood for the first of three planned rallies and marches to celebrate International Workers Day, also known as May Day, continuing a tradition dating back to the 19th century.
“We are here in Hollywood, California, because right here — because of our labor brothers and sisters — we saw the power of unions as they rose up and created ‘hot labor summer’ and fought for their rights as workers,” she said. The coalition behind the event included the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, United Teachers Los Angeles, the Service Employees International Union, IATSE Local 839, the National Union of Healthcare Workers, Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights, Communist Party USA and Democratic Socialists of America – Los Angeles.
The ninth annual May Day Boyle Heights was at 4:30 p.m. with a rally for immigrant and worker rights at Mariachi Plaza, 1831 First St. The blast and ensuing gunfire resulted in the deaths of seven police officers and at least four civilians. Eight anarchists were convicted of conspiracy in a trial their supporters called unfair and a serious miscarriage of justice. Seven were sentenced to death and one to a term of 15 years in prison.
