The annual NYC May Day rally is train wreck of every progressive issue you ever have (and haven't) heard about that spews pamphlets, Communist newspapers and poorly amplified speeches.
On the heels of the sense of frustration that the May Day rally can create, it's great to see the May 12th Coalition pulling together a strong coalition to propose a unified and practical message.
They're proposing a budget that replaces cuts to human services with measures to eliminate tax breaks for banks. Lots of great community organizations, some local politicians and good press will hopefully move this plan along. More here.
