Come celebrate the original "Labor Day" as America In Solidarity hosts its fifth annual May Day Celebration.

This year's event will focus on the occupation of Iraq and its effect on America's working families. There will be a program from 7-8pm at the Washington State History Museum followed by a candlelight vigil outside of the Union Station Federal Courthouse to mark the over 4,000 troops who paid the ultimate sacrifice. The names of all the Washington-connected troops who have passed in Iraq will be read during the vigil.

The program will include

• a presentation by Dr. Michael Honey on the war's cost to working families
  
• Vance Lelli, President of the Pierce County Central Labor Council
• Seth Manzel, co-director of the GI Voice Project
  

The event is free and promises to be an inspiring and important event to honor working families.
