KRCL's Gavin Dahl with an important message. Plus, a May Day Rally, the Utah Investigative Journalism Project, and another episode of Take a Hike.

Tonight's edition of RadioACTive features the following people, organizations and/or events. Check them out and get plugged into your community:

Tomorrow is the first day of May, which is recognized as International Labor Day (yes, we know about Beltane and the Celts). The modern labor movement celebrates unions and their fight for an 8-hour workday on May Day. Utah50501's Jess returns to talk about a celebration planned in downtown SLC. Note: It's not a protest.

  • May 1: May Day Rally for Labor Rights, Economic Equality & Solidarity. 12:00-2:00 p.m. at Washington Square, 451 S. State St., SLC. Event by Utah50501: "May 1st is the next national day of protest. This will be a different type of event - it’s a celebration. We’ll be at Washington Square at the Salt Lake County Building 12-2. This day is significant because it’s May Day - International Labor Day. We’re coming to show support to union members all over the nation. Bring signs to show support or just come listen to some local union members who are sharing their experiences and knowledge. Unions fought for the rights we all benefit from. They raise their voices for us, let’s raise ours for them. Join us. Stand with labor. Raise your voice. Celebrate them."

The Utah Investigative Journalism Project has released its 2025 Utah Reporters Almanac. RadioACTive talks with Eric Peterson, founder and executive director of the nonprofit, about the state of the Free Press in an America where the GOP has a supermajority in Utah and Washington, D.C.

  • May 14: Transparent Utah webinar, 12:00-1:00 p.m. online. FREE and open to the public. Event by The Utah Investigative Journalism Project: "Join us for this free webinar where staff from Transparent Utah will help explain how to use the free database to explore state spending in Utah. Sign up and a Zoom invite will be sent to you the morning of the event. The event will be recorded and a link will be provided to you after the event if you register. By signing up, you agree to sign up for The Utah Investigative Journalism Project mailing list, and you can unsubscribe at any time."

RA Series: Take a Hike with Ashley Brown, author of Urban Trails: Salt Lake City. Tune in through Spring and Summer for hike picks and details from someone who's been there — literally. A Utah native, Brown spent her childhood playing in the foothills of Mount Timpanogos. Today's hike is for all the Dog Moms out there as we head toward Mother's Day.

May is National Pet Month. What's your pet question? RadioACTive talks with Operation Pawpulation's Temma Martin and Dr. Jessica Love of PETCARE Animal Hospital in South Jordan.
