Mayworks Festival – Online Edition
May 2020
Facebook
We’re going digital with an entirely online festival for 2020 with screenings, playlists, broadcasts and more!
With the global impact of COVID-19, we are hoping to bring arts, entertainment, and social justice to the homes of Nova Scotians by presenting an exciting and varied virtual program, including a new and evolving project: Voice From the Pandemic: COVID 19 & Work. Our goal at Mayworks is to highlight and champion work and workers; we can’t think of a more important period in our collective memory to do so.
Stay tuned for details as we prepare for a new exciting lineup of digital programming in celebration of workers and social justice!

May Day Virtual Rally
Friday, May 1 — 5:00 pm MDT
Streaming live on Facebook
On International Workers’ Day, we speak up from where we find ourselves, and where we see ourselves in the days ahead. In our homes and workplaces, we recognize that everything in this society is made by us. We celebrate what workers have accomplished together, and we prepare for new challenges never before anticipated. Workers in the healthcare, education, transportation, manufacturing, retail, delivery, food service, and other sectors are demanding safety, security, and dignity for all. We stand with them, and with those around the world seeking just solutions to crisis.
Please reach out to us – with a message, a photo, or a video – about things you’re seeing in your work and life, and what you wish you could change, with a show of support. We’re excited to share presentations from speakers during the online rally, plus spirited discussion on the current situation and our organizing work. See you there!
