May Day Rally for Workers’ Rights

Hosted by UAW, Caleb, Indivisible, and CALC

May 1st | 6–7 PM | Miller Park, 928 Market St, Chattanooga, TN 37402

Join us this May Day as we rally in solidarity with Volkswagen workers in Chattanooga who are organizing for their very first union contract. These brave workers are standing up for what every worker deserves: fair pay, strong benefits, and a safe work environment.

Come hear directly from the workers leading this fight, as well as local allies and community leaders, as we lift our voices together in support of dignity, justice, and power on the job.

This rally is a show of strength, unity, and support—not just for Volkswagen workers, but for working people everywhere. Bring your signs, your friends, and your fire for justice.

Let’s make some noise and show Volkswagen that Chattanooga stands with its workers!

Ever since the first May 1st labor protest took place in Chicago in 1886, May Day has been a time for demonstrations, rallies, and protests, across the globe.

Join us for an inspiring and peaceful gathering at the Coffee County May Day Protest, hosted by the Coffee County Democratic Party. This event is your opportunity to stand up for democratic values and engage with your community in a meaningful way.
