Oakland’s May Day Procession

May 2, 2017 by Sandra Tavel Leave a Comment

Monday, May 1, 2017.

May Day procession through the Fruitvale District on International Blvd at 29th Ave.  Words matter and I’d like to see these events publicized as processions, rather than protests.

About Sandra Tavel
Sandra Tavel lives and works in East Oakland. Emigrating from La Paz, Bolivia and growing up in suburban Denver shaped her desire to put roots down in a place that is diverse, politically progressive and rich in social justice oriented history.  This journey brought her to Oakland, which gets a disturbing and bizarre rap on much of the media that exists today. She’s looking to move the needle to create different narratives that reflect the complexity and nuances that make Oakland what it is. She has been an avid writer and voracious reader her whole life.  When she’s not working, reading or writing, you can find her at yoga class, hiking the Redwood Regional Park System or playing on the beach with her partner and two dogs.
