🔥 In 1886, working people shut shit down and took to the streets, demanding something so basic as the time to live: the limited eight-hour workday. They faced violence, repression, and the brute force of those in power during the Haymarket struggle. And yet, they pushed history and culture forward.

140 years later, the fight has evolved and remains just as urgent. The same racial capitalist system of yesteryear keeps us overworked, underpaid and divided today, while billionaires and war profiteers hoard unimaginable wealth. The U.S. spends trillions fueling endless war, while working-class people here are choosing between rent, groceries, and meds. This is not accidental. It’s by design.

We’ve been naming it all year: Class Ruins Everything Around Me (C.R.E.A.M.). The billionaires, oil oligarchs, and corporate elites blocking our freedom are not untouchable; they are the reason for our everyday hardships. And we’re done pretending otherwise.

This May Day, we honor the legacy of resistance by continuing it. On May 1, 2026, workers, students, and families across the country will rally, march, and take action to demand a country that puts workers — the true architects and runners of this nation — over billionaires. Many of us are refusing business as usual: No School. No Work. No Shopping. ♥️💪🏽👩🏿‍🌾
