Community members, labor and advocacy organizations will hold a rally on Friday to support the rights of immigrants and international workers.

The “May Day: International Workers Day/A Day Without Immigrants” rally and march runs from 11 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. May 1 at Wilder Park, 350 N. River St., Aurora.

The rally will include opening remarks, community speakers and a coordinated march through downtown Aurora. Speakers represent labor, grassroots organizations and community leaders. The speakers will address May Day’s history, current realities facing workers and immigrant families and the importance of collective action.
