DISTRICT ONE CITY COUNCILOR LYDIA EDWARDS TO CELEBRATE WORKING FAMILIES
Boston City Councilor Lydia Edwards, serving Charlestown, East Boston, and the North End, is hosting a community brunch in honor of International Workers’ Day and the Fight for Fifteen. The brunch will be held at The Tavern at the End of the World, 108 Cambridge Street in Charlestown, from 11AM to 1PM, on Saturday, May 18, 2019. All are invited.
International Workers’ Day, often called May Day, is typically celebrated on May 1 by countries around the globe, honoring the collective strength of laborers and the working classes, their rights as workers, and their critical contributions to their countries’ economies.
The Fight for $15 is an American movement advocating for the federal minimum wage to be raised to $15 per hour. The federal minimum wage was set at $7.25 per hour in 2009, and has not been increased since.
This is a family-friendly event and seniors eat free. Suggested contribution is $15/person.
