International Workers’ Day, or May Day, stands as a living tribute to the global struggle of the working class against exploitation, colonial plunder, and capitalist domination. Born out of the fierce battles of laborers in the U.S.—particularly the Haymarket martyrs of 1886—it quickly became an international rallying point for workers rising up against the forces that profit from their labor while denying them dignity. Across continents, May Day has been reclaimed by farmworkers, miners, domestic workers, students, and cultural workers alike—not only to demand fair wages or shorter hours, but to assert the right of the oppressed to control the wealth they produce, the land they till, and the futures they imagine. For those fighting under the weight of imperialism and neocolonialism, especially across the African diaspora, May Day is not a ritual but a declaration: that the unity of the working class across borders, identities, and occupations is the beating heart of any genuine movement toward liberation.
