May Day: The Holiday Most Of Us Forget

To many of us, May Day is one of those weird mentions on the calendar as we start the new month. To others however, it is a celebration for the struggle of the common worker. The people that make America hum. Many rights have been won for workers over the last 120 years. But then in the last seven years so many of them have been cut by the Bush Administration. So we continue to fight, and protest for fair treatment for all laborers throughout the country and around the world.

Here in New York City there will be a huge demonstration at Union Square this afternoon at 4pm. There was a tremendous presence last year and we hope to see it again today. After people assemble there will be a march downtown to Foley Square. If you have some time this afternoon, come out and support the cause. You might find a lot more than just a protest, as I did last year at the event. And if you aren't in New York, check this site to see what else is going on around the U.S.
