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 theme this year celebrates the merging of the red and green energies of the world. We cheer on 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 fall of our economic systems built on debt, consumer waste, the theft and sickening of earth resources, we gather to rebuild an economic system that protects and sustains our Earth as a “Common Treasury for All.”
There are many opporotunities to participate: in the parade, in setting up, staffing, and taking down the Powderhorn Park booths, for musicians of all skills, and for people to help in any number of ways, such as standing watch over the boat flotilla. Continue Reading

Tour de Fletcher in solidarity with RNC8 in Minneapolis

About 35 people met at Powderhorn Park to ride as part of the National Day of Solidarity with the RNC8.

Bikers kept an amicable, slow pace ride with some of the bike police cordially mixing with some of the back field. At the first stop, with the bike police stationed across the street, there was some explanation of events that took place during the weekend prior to the 2008 RNC (Republican National Convention). Then the group moved on to the next site, ambling along at a leisurely pace. Continue Reading
