Mother’s Day March for Peace and Justice
On Mother’s Day, 1986, over 1,000 people participated in Minneapolis’s sixth annual Mother’s Day March for Peace and Justice. The group gathered at the Native American Indian Center at Franklin and Bloomington Avenues and marched to Powderhorn Park in the wet and rain. The group was marching against nuclear testing, U.S. military intervention throughout the world and racism, and advocating for women’s reproductive rights.

Workers of the World Unite
In addition to being a celebration of summer, May 1st or May Day, is also known as Workers’ Day or International Workers’ Day. It’s a day to commemorate the historic struggles and gains of workers and labor unions, and to further advocate for the rights of workers today. In the United States, workers are officially recognized on the public holiday of Labor Day, in September.

Every year in honor of #PrideMonth I will be highlighting our #mixedrace #LGBTQIA+ that are proud & making a difference. Who would you like to see featured? ️ AND urgent reminder that #riots, #marches & #protests are why we can celebrate #Pride like this today. If you’re wearing rainbows, waving flags & in solidarity w/ LGBTQIA+ but dont agree w/ POC fighting for the same, and vice versa, you’re FAKE; using their movement for likes, profit & don’t believe in what #loveislove actually means! And speaking of that #LovingDay is this month so I will also be highlighting #interracialcouples and #families! Happy June! #HappyPride!! Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk! ✊✊✊✊✊✊ #mixedgirlproblems (at Pride Month)
