March 22, 2025 3:00 pm - 4:30 pm More Info and RSVP: https://actionnetwork.org/events/may-day-learning-from-our-past-fighting-for-our-future Description: Every year on May 1, the vast majority of countries around the world celebrate Labor Day, but the United States is not one of them. The story of May Day, originating here in the US in Chicago, has survived and inspired generations of working-class organizers ever since 1886. For instance, on May 1, 2006, several millions of immigrant workers all over the US walked off their jobs and marched in cities large and small in what was the largest coordinated strike action in more than half a century. This year, Maine DSA is working with a coalition of labor and community organizations to bring the traditions of May Day back to Maine as the working class faces a concerted attack from Trump and his billionaire quislings.
