Baker County Indivisible and Baker County Democrats are planning a rally and food drive for the Baker City Backpack Program and local food banks on Thursday, May 1, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Court Plaza.

The plaza is on Court Avenue between Main and Resort streets.

It was also the site of a rally April 5 to protest policies of the Trump administration.

Participants are asked to bring a non-perishable food item to the May 1 event.

According to a flyer for the event, “May Day 2025 we are standing united. We’re organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety — regardless of race, ZIP code, or immigration status.”
