May Day rally Boston/ Chelsea. | |
May Day Boston 2014: About 800 people gathered in front of Chelsea City Hall to celebrate International Workers Day. The issues were for an increase in the minimum wage to $15 an hour and workers and immigrants rights. Feeder marches came from East Boston, Everett, and Revere. Speeches were from labor leaders and immigrants rights advocates; both in Spanish and English. Also, cultural performances by Native American and Asian artists added to the diversity of the rally. A wide range of labor/immigrants/social justice organizations organized the protest.

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager
