Happy International Workers’ Day! May Day! Primo Maggio!
For over a century, May Day, May 1st, has been celebrated by workers across the world. A day of reflection of where we, as labor have been, where we are currently, and where we would like to be.
A day that celebrates the wins of our movement and mourns our loses.
In Vermont, many organizations gather annually for rally’s and collective actions.

Happy May Day, everyone.
Solidarity Forever,
