Large national demonstration for INTERNATIONAL WORKERS’ DAY
Big demonstration for the International worker’s day
SATURDAY 2 MAY 2026 | 1 PM IN FRONT OF THE STATUE OF GEORGES-ETIENNE CARTIER, MONTREAL
Workers, retirees, unemployed people, students, community groups, human rights organizations, people of all ages and backgrounds: let’s unite on May 2, 2026, in Montreal, for International Workers’ Day.
Our rights are constantly being trampled by the CAQ.
Anti-union laws. Harmful policies for the most vulnerable workers. Inaction in the face of the housing crisis. Cuts to public service and social program budgets. Privatization. Our social safety net is broken by the CAQ’s political choices, and instead of trying to strengthen it, this boss-driven government is multiplying decisions that collectively impoverish us, infringe on our rights, and silence criticism.
Like governments of recent decades, the CAQ is cutting public service budgets and promoting the development of private markets. For the population, this means reduced access to the services they need. It also means unacceptable working conditions for those who provide those services. Yet, accessible and universal social services and programs are a key to ensuring everyone’s right to live in dignity.
Now more than ever, we must put pressure on the government to stop attacking our rights and further destroying our social safety net!
