On May 1, 2023 folks will be mobilizing in Downtown Boston. Let’s join 
together in celebrating May Day 2023, International Workers Day, a 
worldwide holiday. On May Day we have an opportunity to celebrate many 
examples of resistance to the employers offensive and government attacks 
on our rights and interests. Many thousands around the country have 
joined unions including at Starbucks here in Boston. Mobilizations 
against police murder and brutality have occurred. Recently, we saw 
hundreds of supporters of trans rights stand up and mobilize in Boston 
against the ultra-rightist campaign by state governments to demonize and 
criminalize trans folks simply for exercising their constitutional 
rights. Folks are taking to the streets for climate justice.
However, we have a long way to go to achieve liberation from the wars, 
exploitation, and oppression we face. Over the past year, we have seen a 
federal government assault on rail workers imposing unsafe working 
conditions in a contract with no paid sick leave, forcing workers to 
work during illness. The US Supreme Court and State governments are 
demolishing reproductive rights. The war economy is rapidly expanding at 
the expense of our human needs. Environmental devastation continues with 
ever increasing instances of extreme weather. We will be increasingly 
asked to make sacrifices while the wealthy increase their profits.
All are invited to a planning meeting where we can discuss the downtown 
Boston mobilization.
