This flier advertises a May Day March for Fair Employment and Multi Cultural Festival. The march occurred on May 3, 1986, beginning at Seattle Center and ending at Occidental Square. It was co-sponsored by several community and activist groups representing marginalized people in Seattle. The purpose of the march was to encourage "yes" votes for Referendum 7, which would maintain King County's recently passed Fair Employment Ordinance. The ordinance prohibited discrimination in hiring on the basis of sex, race, age, disability, sexual orientation, and other protected characteristics. The flier warns that defeat of the referendum would allow employers to discriminate against just about any employee.
