On May 1st millions of people around the world march to celebrate international solidarity among working people. We march because the classic union anthem of “Solidarity Forever” must be expanded to every worker – documented and undocumented, waged and unwaged, those who labor and those who work in the home, students, the unemployed, in the US and around the world. We march because the scapegoating and criminalization of immigrants is a crucial part of the overall attack on working people. We march because anti-immigrant legislation has created the conditions of modern-day slavery formigrant workers. We march because as long as one worker is deport-able, all workers are exploitable.
