Bit of Backstory: International Workers' Day
May Day, annually celebrated on May 1, is often referred to as International Workers' Day or Labor Day. Historically, this day is associated with the globally shared struggles and achievements of workers, whether common laborers or members of the thriving labor movement. Communist parties around the world participate in these events, holding rallies and parades to spotlight the critical issues workers face daily and their demands for equality and justice.
