There were some USA flags, some Palestinian flags, flags representing the range of queer sexual identities, a flag saying, \u201cI stand with\u2026\u201d and pictures of the flags of Canada, Greenland, Mexico, Ukraine, and other countries bullied over the last months by the Trump administration. Beyond the aggressive wind, the people were clearly united in their dissatisfaction with the Trump administration and with their hopes that the City of Toledo and Lucas County might take positive local actions to rectify, if only symbolically, some of the destructive Federal actions.<\/p>\n<p>May Days across the country were well-attended this year. The uptick in numbers clearly reflects passionate dissatisfaction with the agenda of the Trump administration\u2019s actions during his first 100 days in office. May Day was established in 1889 as a world-wide day to commemorate labor struggles and agitate for the rights of workers. (September\u2019s Labor Day holiday was instituted to counter these radical energies.)<\/p>\n<p>Toledo\/Lucas County was no exception. Hundreds of protesters braved high winds to hold signs denouncing various policies of the Trump administration. Signs mocked billionaires in general and Elon Musk in particular; signs called for the rule of law, and respect for science and medicine.<\/p>\n<p>The Toledo May Day event was organized by the Northwest Ohio Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). The national DSA has been around since the early 1980s and was founded by older non-communist socialists committed to working inside of the Democratic Party. Since the Bernie Sanders campaign for president in 2016, its membership rolls have grown, its chapters multiplied, and its politics has trended to the left of the Democratic Party. This spirit was evident at their May Day rally.<\/p>\n<p>The two co-chairs of the NWO DSA, both people of color, were surrounded by their comrades\u2014mostly white activists in the teachers\u2019 unions, in gay and trans rights, immigrant rights, and other causes. The rally was co-sponsored by Mockingjay\u2014an LGBT group, Students for Justice in Palestine, and Toledo against Oppression.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers denounced Trump\u2019s deportation actions\u2014against activists and green card holders alike, legal resident and the undocumented, the criminal and the law-abiding alike. Northwest Ohio corrections facilities recently signed agreements with ICE to hold detainees there. The crowd loudly booed these arrangements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The rally made <u>three (3) demands<\/u> on the City of Toledo and Lucas County: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>That they become a sanctuary city for immigrants. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>That they become a sanctuary city for trans people. <\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong>That Toledo and Lucas county divest itself from the State of Israel. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Perhaps that last demand seemed out of place, but the most stirring speech of the day was by a student leader in The University of Toledo\u2019s (UToledo) Students for Justice in Palestine who asserted that Palestinian rights was a workers\u2019 issue, a union issue, and a central concern for all, maintaining that the support that the US gives to the State of Israel has been used to devastate the people of Gaza: over 50,000 killed, whole towns and cities flattened, and civilian infrastructure devastated.<\/p>\n<p>Israel is currently engaged in a war in Gaza that has taken more than 50,000 lives, most of them civilians, women and children. Lucas County apparently holds at least five million dollars in Israel bonds.<\/p>\n<p>While most in the crowd were older, the organizers and speakers were mostly younger. The ferocious assault on immigrants\u2019 rights, due process, and the attack on trans rights are important domestic issues for this generation. The United States\u2019 support of Israel as it wages a devastating war on the Palestinians of Gaza is, however, the defining issue of radical youth.<\/p>\n<p>To paraphrase one speaker, attacks on migrants, on LGBT people, and on Palestinians is an attack on working people everywhere. Solidarity may not be \u201cforever\u201d but was clearly present in the words and signs of the people of Toledo\/Lucas County.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/flags.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11388 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/flags-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" srcset=\"https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/flags-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/laprensanewspaper.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/flags.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>El Primero de Mayo en Toledo Tiene Demandas de Toledo\/Condado de Lucas <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Por Editorial de La Prensa<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Las banderas ondeaban fren\u00e9ticamente al viento, reflejando la profunda preocupaci\u00f3n de los cientos de personas que se congregaron en el Centro de Gobierno el 1 de mayo. Hab\u00eda banderas estadounidenses, palestinas, banderas que representaban la diversidad de identidades sexuales queer, una bandera que dec\u00eda &#8220;Apoyo&#8230;&#8221; y fotos de las banderas de Canad\u00e1, Groenlandia, M\u00e9xico, Ucrania y otros pa\u00edses hostigados en los \u00faltimos meses por la administraci\u00f3n Trump. M\u00e1s all\u00e1 del viento agresivo, la gente estaba claramente unida en su descontento con la administraci\u00f3n Trump y con la esperanza de que la ciudad de Toledo y el condado de Lucas tomaran medidas locales positivas para rectificar, aunque solo fuera simb\u00f3licamente, algunas de las destructivas acciones federales.<\/p>\n<p>Los Primeros de Mayo en todo el pa\u00eds fueron bien atendidos este a\u00f1o. El aumento refleja claramente la profunda insatisfacci\u00f3n con la agenda de acciones de la administraci\u00f3n Trump durante sus primeros 100 d\u00edas. El Primero de Mayo se estableci\u00f3 en 1889 como un d\u00eda mundial para conmemorar las luchas laborales y promover los derechos de los trabajadores. (El feriado del D\u00eda del Trabajo en septiembre se instituy\u00f3 para contrarrestar estas energ\u00edas radicales.)<\/p>\n<p>El condado de Toledo\/Lucas no fue la excepci\u00f3n. Cientos de manifestantes desafiaron fuertes vientos para sostener cartas que denunciaban diversas pol\u00edticas de la administraci\u00f3n Trump. Las cartas se burlaban de los multimillonarios en general y de Elon Musk en particular; las cartas exig\u00edan el estado de derecho y el respeto por la ciencia y la medicina.<\/p>\n<p>El evento del Primero de Mayo en Toledo fue organizado por los Socialistas Dem\u00f3cratas de Am\u00e9rica (DSA) del Noroeste de Ohio. La DSA nacional existe desde la d\u00e9cada de 1980 y fue fundada por socialistas no-comunistas de mayor trayectoria comprometidos con trabajar dentro del Partido Dem\u00f3crata. Desde la campa\u00f1a presidencial de Bernie Sanders en 2016, su n\u00famero de miembros ha crecido, sus secciones se han multiplicado, y su pol\u00edtica se ha inclinado hacia la izquierda del Partido Dem\u00f3crata. Este esp\u00edritu fue evidente este Primero de Mayo.<\/p>\n<p>Los dos copresidentes del DSA del NWO, ambas personas de color, estaban rodeados de sus camaradas- la mayor\u00eda de las activistas son blancos y de los sindicatos de maestros, defensores de los derechos de las personas homosexuales y trans, de los derechos de los inmigrantes, y de otras causas. La reuni\u00f3n fue copatrocinada por Mockingjay- un grupo LGBT, Estudiantes por la Justicia en Palestina, y Toledo contra la Opresi\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Los oradores denunciaron las medidas de deportaci\u00f3n de Trump, tanto contra activistas como contra residentes legales e indocumentados, delincuentes y respetuosos de la ley. Los centros penitenciarios del noroeste de Ohio firmaron recientemente acuerdos con ICE para mantener all\u00ed a detenidos. La multitud abuche\u00f3 ruidosamente estos acuerdos.<\/p>\n<p><strong>La tres (3) demandas para la Ciudad de Toledo y al Condado de Lucas son:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>1) Que se conviertan en una ciudad santuario para inmigrantes.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>2) Que se conviertan en una ciudad santuario para personas trans.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>3) Que Toledo y el Condado de Lucas se desprendan al Estado de Israel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Quiz\u00e1s esa \u00faltima exigencia parec\u00eda fuera de lugar, pero el discurso m\u00e1s conmovedor del d\u00eda fue de un l\u00edder estudiantil de Estudiantes por la Justicia en Palestina de la Universidad de Toledo (UToledo), quien afirm\u00f3 que los derechos palestinos era un problema laboral, un problema sindical, y una preocupaci\u00f3n central para todos, sosteniendo que el apoyo que Estados Unidos brinda al Estado de Israel se ha utilizado para devastar a la poblaci\u00f3n de Gaza: m\u00e1s de 50,000 muertos, pueblos y ciudades arrasadas enterase infraestructura civil devastada.<\/p>\n<p>Israel est\u00e1 actualmente involucrado en una guerra en Gaza que ha cobrado m\u00e1s de 50,000 vidas, la mayor\u00eda de ellas civiles, mujeres y ni\u00f1os. Al parecer, el Condado de Lucas posee al menos cinco millones de d\u00f3lares en bonos israel\u00edes.<\/p>\n<p>Si bien la mayor\u00eda de los asistentes eran mayores, los organizadores y oradores eran en su mayor\u00eda j\u00f3venes. El feroz ataque a los derechos de los inmigrantes, el debido proceso y el ataque a los derechos de las personas trans son problemas internos e importantes para esta generaci\u00f3n. Sin embargo, el apoyo de Estados Unidos a Israel en su guerra devastadora contra los palestinos de Gaza es el problema que define a la juventud radical.<\/p>\n<p>Parafraseando a un orador, los ataques contra migrantes, personas LGBT y palestinos son un ataque contra la clase trabajadora de todo el mundo. La solidaridad puede no ser eterna, pero estuvo claramente presente en las palabras y gestos de los habitantes de Toledo\/Condado de Lucas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Toledo May Day makes demands of Toledo\/Lucas County La Prensa Editorial Flags blew frantically in the wind, reflecting the trembling concerns of the hundreds who gathered at the 1 Government Center on May 1st.
