May 1st — May Day — is the World Labor Day honoring the workers killed in Chicago in 1886, striking for the eight hour day. It is also the day each year that working class solidarity is reaffirmed and our demands for a better world renewed. Occupy is organizing for it, everywhere, as the next major step.
Solidarity Forever!
If you are involved in your Local Union, contact your fellow laborers about organizing May Day events or participating in them.
If you are not in a union but involved in your local Occupy, see how your Occupy is joining in local annual May Day festivities.
If you are involved in neither but want to get involved in a Local, I recommend you contact the Industrial Workers of the World at http://www.iww.org/.
