On Sunday, May 1, 2011, a large group of Lynn residents traveled to the annual May Day March for Workers' and Immigrants' Rights. This year the march began in East Boston and ended in Chelsea.

Organized by Lynn United for Change, a large group representing some of the tremendous diversity of Lynn traveled together to East Boston. Participants included members of both Lynn United for Change and Neighbor to Neighbor.
