May Day workers March. Thank you to Camille of Sidewalk for representing with all the other beautiful folks and groups. @aidsunited @stripperstrikenoho May Day has roots in many things: ancient pagan European celebrations, international solidarity, and anarchy and socialism. The push for fair working conditions during the Industrial Revolution, when capitalism began to take it’s hold, happened across the world. It has a violent history in the United States where the working class was silenced through force by the police in Chicago. You can read more about the history here: https://www.npr.org/2022/04/30/1095729592/what-is-may-day-history We continue to celebrate May Day to push back against these oppressive capitalists ideals and fight for worker’s rights. Being paid a livable wage isn’t radical, it’s common sense. Demanding to be treated like a human and not a robot isn’t radical, it’s necessary. What are you fighting for? #mayday #laborday #workersrights https://www.instagram.com/p/CdEDcCTuieC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

International Exchange! Petra from the UK. Petra has been working in houseless services for over 20 years and is a total badass. She went out with Jen to visit some of our participants. Thank you @invisiblepeople for connecting us with so many rad folks!

This lovely lady’s name is 🎶 Radio 🎶 and I don’t think there’s a better name for someone with a voice that heavenly. Thank you for your beautiful voice and presence.

Here at the Sidewalk Project we want art to be accessible to everyone. Art changes lives and it’s not something that should be held behind barriers. While supplies on the street are limited many find a way to flex the creativity regardless, but we want to give everyone the opportunity to create whatever their heart desires.
