OH DEAR, IT'S MAY DAY – AT 9:18 A.M. ET:   People in most areas won't notice.  But in very specific places in Amerika – the preferred spelling for May Day celebrants – there may be disruptions.  As a public service, Urgent Agenda hereby posts information for residents of the People's Democratic Republic of Seattle, a nation-state and paradise out west.  From king5.com: 

SEATTLE -- Seattle police are warning drivers that May Day means they should be prepared for rolling slowdowns and heavy traffic from planned marches.

May 1 is International Workers' Day. A number of events are scheduled to take place in Seattle.

A Black Lives Matter event is the first of the day, scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. at MLK Memorial Park.

At 1 p.m., a rally for Farm Workers is being hosted by Students for Farm Worker Justice at Casa Latina.

The Marcha Y Manifestacio Anual del 1o de Mayo is a rally and march for worker and immigrant rights that begins at 2 p.m. in Judkins Park.

The march will depart from St. Mary's Church at 3:00 p.m. and end with a rally at the Federal Courthouse at 700 Stewart Street in Downtown Seattle. Those taking part in the rally for farm workers also plan to join this march.

Finally at 6 p.m., the May Day Anticapitalist March is scheduled to start from Seattle Central College. The college has elected to end classes early for the day and will close at 5 p.m.

The Black Lives Matter group plans to join the International Workers and Immigrants Day rally and march as well as the later anti-capitalist march.

Seattle police say they are ready for May Day. In previous years, marches and riots have ended in destruction to local businesses and arrests. In 2014, officers arrested 17 people over the course of the evening...

...Other events are set to take place in Western Washington cities on Friday, including Occupy Bellingham peace vigil set to start at 4 p.m.

COMMENT:  Be there.  Names of those who don't show up will be duly noted.
