Marc Elrich for County Council

May Day began with workers in Chicago risking their lives to demand the eight-hour work day and basic dignity in the workplace. 👨‍🏭🏭

Today we honor the working families, activists, and unions who continue the fight for fair wages, safe and accessible workplaces, and collective bargaining rights.

I am very proud to have the support of these local unions in my campaign for County Council At-Large:

SEIU Local 500 , Montgomery County Education Association (MCEA) , ATU Local 689 , Metro Washington Council AFL-CIO , LIUNA , Montgomery County Volunteer Fire-Rescue Association

Together, we will continue to build a county where people are put first.

Respect union contracts.
Respect public workers.
Honor the agreements.

Thousands of our neighbors are observing two major holidays today:

Eid al-Fitr and Nowruz!

Montgomery County is home to thousands of Muslims, as well as thousands of Iranians, Afghans, Kurds, Tajiks, and others who observe one or both holidays. Without the contribution of these diverse and engaged communities, Montgomery County would not be the same.

For our Muslim residents who celebrate Eid al-Fitr, may you and your families have a joyful and blessed Eid filled with love, laughter, charity, and delicious food! Wishing you happiness that lasts all year on this special day.

Nowruz, also known as the Persian New Year, is a holiday that aligns with the spring equinox and is celebrated across several countries in the Middle East and Central Asia as the first day of the new year. I hope that joy, good health, and prosperity continue to bloom in the homes of all who celebrate this ancient holiday.

If you’re one of the many who celebrate both, consider yourself doubly blessed!

Eid al-Fitr Mubarak ☪️ and Nowruz Pirooz! 💐

Warmest wishes,

Marc Elrich
