Invisible Labor bloc & cacerolazo! Bring pots & pans

Global Women’s Strike Bay Area and US PROStitutes Collective will be marching at the May 1 March for Immigrant and Labor Rights called by Oakland Sin Fronteras. We will be meeting up at 2:30 pm at 12th St and 38th Ave. We are marching in an Invisible Labor Bloc called by the Oakland Women’s Strike Organizing Collective under two banners, Resources for Caregivers not for Walls and Feminism of the 99%.

On Mayday, we will march to make visible the caring work that is integral to reproducing society every day. Caregiving, cleaning, cooking, emotional labor, sex work. These and other forms of caring work are often made invisible, because they are not valued.

We will form ourselves as a group of “invisible laborers”. We will take pots and pans, the implements of domestic labor, and make noise with them. We will march through residential areas of Fruitvale, to bring the protest to domestic workers, children, disabled people, and others in their homes and to invite anyone who is able to join us.

Please bring your pots and pans, and look for us! We will get back in time for the march, and likely do a second “cacerolazo” (pots and pans banging march) during the rally at the park.
