"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."
