May 1st is International Workers’ Day also known as May Day.
May Day has traditionally served to celebrate the contributions of working people and raise the voices of immigrant communities. This year, it will also serve to further motivate, educate, and activate workers, and supporters. It will serve to fight regressive politics in our power institutions.
