*April 30th*

Part of the Mayday 2005 mobilizations, we invite you to a protest and a community gathering in Côte-des-Neiges on April 30th. The themes of the protest will be :

*Against Poverty and Precarity
*For the Rights of Immigrants and Refugees
*For Economic and Social Equality

This year, like the previous 5 years, CLAC will be organizing activities around Mayday. This year we invite you to a protest that will end in a community gathering in Côte-des-Neiges where the Mayworks! festival of working class culture and struggle will be held. We propose a festive march with music through the residential streets of the neighborhood. We are meeting at 12:00 at Parc Nelson Mandela (métro Plamondon), the march will begin at 1pm.

A few stops will be made to visit local crooks and exploiters...Finally, the march will end at Kent Parc where the Mayworks activities will be held. There will be activities for all : art exhibits, theatre, music and food.

This community gathering in Côte-des-Neiges is an occasion to make links between different communities of working people of all origins. We want to link the exploitation of immigrant workers, who by their precarious condition within the immigration system, are more vulnerable to abuse and economic blackmail at work, to the condition of "Canadian" workers, wich isn't much better. Whatever our origins, we are all facing the same problem : the boss class and the capitalist sharks who exploit us and profit from our work. These parasites are afraid of only one thing : a united population that will make them pay for hundreds of years of theft. They have consistently tried to divide us, by fabricating an ideology of racism and by creating privilieged groups in society.

*May 1st*

We would also like to invite you to join the Anarchist Contingent in the labour march on May 1st, wich will gather at the corner of McGill College and Sherbrooke at 12:00. Like every year, Mayday is International Workers Day, uniting workers of all origins.

Mayday is celebrated across the world, it is a time to commemorate our struggles and our past and present resistance to the boss class and other social abusers. This class of parasites lives off of our backs, benefiting from the wealth we create from our work and forcing us to live in poverty and misery so we have no choice to continue producing for them. Wage slaves! We are. Docile? We are not!

This has to stop! Unite against the same enemy!
