"May Day" is celebrated around the world as
International Worker's Day to honor the struggle for workers
rights.
On May 1st, 1886, and in the days that followed, Chicago
police opened fire, attacking thousands of workers on strike. Every year since, workers across the globe
have stood together to unite all of our struggles – an injury to one, is an injury to
all!
This Friday, May 1st,
2015 we hope to
get as many different campaigns, groups of people and organizations as possible
out on the streets in defense of workers rights!
There is no doubt, this winter was one of the more
politically active seasons we have seen in Boston. We've seen large actions
supporting Black Lives Matter, No Olympics campaigns and the continued struggle
for $15 an hour. May Day is about bringing these causes together under the
banner of Solidarity. Whether the
ruling class is oppressing workers or using the police to disenfranchise whole
races of people,
May Day is our day to stand together and announce in
celebration; "Enough is Enough."
