MAY DAY! SHUT IT DOWN!

Friday, May 1, 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm | Federal Building | 100 S Clinton St, Syracuse

THEN….. come out to Salt City Market for a free educational event to learn about the truly radical history of May Day and the General Strike!  Friday May 1 | 3PM  | Salt City Market Community Room.

May 1 has always been the day to celebrate the workers of the world. It also is a time to think about the Wobblies (International Workers of the World) who were founded in 1905 in Chicago to “unite all worker’s”  and break the chains of capitalism. In some ways we seem so far from that vision and in other ways perhaps it is the vision that is now becoming clear as the fascist right directly attacks US workers daily.

In case you want to read about the origins of May Day you can visit the IWW webpage here.
