"May Day has always been International Workers Day, and this year it is something more. On May 1, workers, students, and families across the country are going to march, rally, and in many cities, refuse business as usual entirely, no work, no school, no shopping, to show this country what it looks like when working people decide not to show up for the people who profit from our labor."
"This year, organizers are hoping to expand the scope of the day of action into a broader movement against corporate power and the start of a longer organizing process."
May Day, or International Workers' Day, has historical roots in the labor movement, originating from a general strike in the late 1800s. This year, the focus is on uniting workers, students, and families to protest against the growing influence of the billionaire class. Organizers plan to expand the day of action into a broader movement against corporate power. The Chicago Teachers Union has declared May Day a civic day of action, encouraging participation through marches, rallies, and a refusal to engage in business as usual.
