May Day in Sussex County
Community members, workers, and advocates will gather at the historic Newton Green on May 2 for a May Day Rally & March, standing in solidarity for fair wages, access to healthcare, affordable housing, and the fundamental needs everyone deserves.
Co-hosted by the Sussex County Education Association, Sussex Visibility Brigade, and Indivisible Sussex, this year’s May Day event brings together unions, local organizations, and residents to raise their voices in support of working people and to reaffirm a shared commitment to protecting democracy and ensuring dignity for all.
May Day is a celebration of the power we build together. On May 2, neighbors will come together, stand side by side, and raise their voices for care, fairness, and opportunity for all. This gathering is both a moment and a movement, an open invitation to keep showing up for one another, to grow solidarity across Sussex County, and to carry this energy forward long after the day ends.
Everyone has a place here, and every voice matters.
