In February of 1919, 65,000 union workers in Seattle completely shut down the city through general strike to demand higher wages.

"You are doomed to wage slavery till you die unless you wake up, realize that ... you, the workers, must take over the control of your jobs."

Had a blast at the first #MayDay2018 art build! Can you guess what we’re making?

[DC May Day March @DCMayDayFest]

It is we who ploughed the prairies, built the cities where they trade

Dug the mines and built the workshops, endless miles of railroad laid

Now we stand outcast and starving 'mid the wonders we have made

But the union makes us strong

[DC May Day March @DCMayDayFest]

May Day is only 13 days away.

Are you ready to pin the strike notice in the capitalist's pocket at the DC #MayDay2018 festival? We are!

(Thanks to Candace Wolf for creating this for the event!)

[DC May Day March @DCMayDayFest]

May Day is not just a labor day. It is a day to oppose capitalist, imperialist interest to cause wars abroad.

In 1971, young people and workers gathered in DC to oppose Vietnam War.

Come to DC May Day to march against US imperialism.

Millions of workers rally and march for justice and their rights across the globe.

We must continue our work to claim what is justly ours and work towards workers' rights.

May Day was essential to bring justice for the workers.

May Day was deadly and bloody, but it was those who weren't afraid to put their bodies on the line who brought 8-hour work days that we take for granted today
