On May 1, 1886, more than 300,000 workers across the United States walked off their jobs in the first May Day celebration in history. In Chicago, 40,000 went out on strike with the anarchists in the forefront of the public's eye. #MayDay2018

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."

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

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. #MayDay2018

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 #MayDay #MayDay2018
