Report-back!

We did it! We did 5 kilometers! Saturday May 3rd was the very first May Day 5K and you made it happen! The folks who came out and signed up the day of, the folks who came to volunteer, Black Eagle for making the sweet shirts, Cult for making us such amazing pizza, the IWW organizers for sharing the story of May Day and the Haymarket Massacre, the dog who ran with its human. If you haven’t already checked it out, we have posted photos from the event.

The IWW brought letter writing supplies and many folks were able to make drawings and write letters of support to Felix, who is in jail until the 11th.

A big thanks needs to go out to the MI CATS who came out to represent and get folks excited about their work. It’s great to see people who've never heard of tar sands before, get together with people who've never run a race before. Also, through your donations we were able to raise $560 to give to the MI CATS legal defense fund.
