Ideally for Mayday week we will have associated events on most days. Here is just a sketchy initial plan of our intentions and some other peoples events on the same week: More to be announced.

MAY 1st 12-2 Street stalls & a few musicians & poets, near Dewar’s Statue;
11.30 am  assemble George square cenotaph 12 noon rally, dewar’s statue, buchanan street 12-2 pm music, open mic, stalls celebrate international working class solidarity.

The parade will be gathering at the Cenotaph in George Square at 11.30 am, then heading up Buchanan Street with a Radical Scotland banner and placards. Songs, chants, and noise makers welcomed! The May Day rally starts at noon at the Donald Dewar statue with music, open mic, and stalls. Bring songs to sing and things to say about workers rights in this age of austerity and precarity. They say give back, we say fight back

MAY 2nd – Tour of some of Glasgow’s radical past with Spirit of Revolt archive members. Starts George Square, ends Glasgow Green via Wilson St, Brunswick St, Montrose St and Weavers Cemetery.

MAY 3rd  7:00pm, after community meal, The Radical Imagination Project at Kinning Park Complex. There are local alternatives to our formal banking education, that are more relative to our lives, that have a history, much older than banks and parliaments and in many ways have stood the test of time. We ask. Why are we not using them? The commons, the common good, the open source, place based learning… So to get going these are some of the ideas we will explore for this event. More
