May Day

What Is Your Life Worth & May Day Paint, Spray And March

By Eleanor Goldfield for Occupy - This week, regulation is the name of the game if you want to hold corporations accountable and keep them in line with the interests of people and planet. Sadly, there's one serious hurdle standing between us and regulation, and it has to do with how much your life is worth. Next up, find a May Day action near you – and while you're at it, paint and spray your message of change in supervillain coup de art. But first, here's my 2 cents – on 20 dollars.

New York City Protesters Rally On May Day For Freddie Gray

Hundreds of people, including union members, students, socialists, immigrants and others, gathered in New York City's Union Square on May 1, International Workers Day, calling for a higher minimum wage of $15 an hour, justice for unarmed people killed by police and an end to deportation and detention of undocumented immigrants. This year, May Day protesters in New York brought calls for an end to systemic racism and support for police accountability for the killing of unarmed civilians, especially people of color, to the forefront of the annual labor march and rally, with "Black Lives Matter" and the names of people killed by police written on signs, and chants calling for justice for the victims of police brutality or promises to "shut it down," a mantra of the Black Lives Matter movement.
