Happy May Day!




Today marks the 120th anniversary of the demonstrations and strikes that first established May 1st as the international workers' holiday. The original May Day protests were organized in support of labor's campaign for an eight-hour work day.
This year, the focus, at least in the U.S. is on the struggle of immigrant workers for social justice and dignity.



To celebrate, here is some music appropriate to the occasion:

La Internacional Anarquista (Spanish Civil War)

Bracero (Phil Ochs)

Power in the Union (Utah Phillips, et al.)
