35th Anniversary of MayDay - May 3, 2009
Our Common Treasury - Dig It
HOBT’s MayDay Parade, Ceremony,
and Festival has always been rooted
in two important traditional celebrations—the celebration of the Green
Root of Earth’s green energy rising in Spring, and the Red
Root of human work energy rising from mind, heart and hand.

Our MayDay 2009 theme celebrated the merging of the red and green energies of the world. We celebrated the great merging of the human social justice movements with the environmental movements to remember humans as responsible relatives of the earth.
As we experience the failure of our economic systems built on debt, consumer waste, the theft and sickening of earth resources, we gathered to rebuild an economic system that protects and sustains our Earth as a “Common Treasury for All.”
