StrangeNew.World - MayDay: Picnic Adventure
Details
| This Friday, May 1 ("May Day") will be a call to action; a day for the essential workers, community advocates, working people, and immigrants, representing the many communities that power our neighborhoods and the state of California, to be heard. |
| ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Two ways to show solidarity this upcoming Friday |
| 1. CA MAY DAY 2026 - The official march will begin at MacArthur Park at 10am and (most likely) proceed to the Downtown area towards the Federal Detention Center (or City Hall). |
| 2. StrangeNew.World - May Day Picnic in the Park: Then we will all be meeting back in Santa Monica at Clover Park at 1pm’ish for a SN.W Labs picnic, there will also be the low-key “Crafting in the Park” event happening during that time. We can set up camp (blankets/shade/ducks) just west of the knitting club/organizers (maybe checkin on the WhatsApp group for up-to-date-details), and be warned: the knitter’s may look peaceful, but they carry sharp sticks and a lot of attitude, making direct eye contact is not advised. 😏 Please RSVP here for the Picnic: https://luma.com/sowv7d46 |

| More on the SN.W Labs Picnic |
| If you plan on attending the Clover Park Picnic, please bring “picnic items” to make your experience enjoyable: sunscreen, some food/drinks/snacks, and comfortable shoes. And maybe if you're planning on bringing a food item let people know on the WhatsApp group so we don't have a bunch of the same stuff… and we will bring a few blankets for everyone to sit on. |
