May 1 is International Workers Day, a day to celebrate working people and the struggles and gains made by unions and the labor movement. Here in DC, May 1 is also recognized as DC Statehood Day, in recognition that DC will eventually secure our full rights and political power when we are admitted as the 5/1st state.
May Day this year will take place as workers and communities everywhere — and especially here in DC — are under attack. The Trump regime has fired tens of thousands of workers in our region and is busting federal unions. It is conducting immigration raids on workers traveling to work or even on the job. The regime has occupied DC since August, has now arrested more than 10,000 of our neighbors — and has shot at and murdered people here.
On Friday, May 1, DC will say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. We invite everyone to join DC workers, unions, and community members for a day of action on May Day here in DC. Sign up, organize your crew, and start making your plans now to be out in the streets with us on Friday May 1. Get all the details at MayDayDC.org (link in bio).
