If you are in or around the New York area, join Workers Strike Back members on May day who will be tabling at Washington Square Park!

Many working people around the world will be taking to the streets on May 1st for International Workers' Day to fight back against the billionaire class and their system of capitalism that is depriving working people of basic healthcare needs and escalating brutal imperialist wars. That is why for this May Day, Workers Strike Back is demanding: TAX THE RICH AND FUND HEALTHCARE, NOT WAR!

Some of the big May Day protests that Workers Strike Back members will be tabling at are calling for fighting the billionaires and for “No Work, No School, No Shopping”. Unfortunately, most of the existing labor leadership is tied at the hip to the Democratic Party that is funded by and serves the billionaires, and this means that these same labor leaders are completely unwilling to call any type of strike or protest that could damage their cozy relationships with the Democratic Party. Unfortunately, all the people who participate in the action of not going to work or school will be doing so on an individual basis, which will have no significant impact on the profits of the billionaire class.

This is part of the failed strategy of business unionism that is employed by the vast majority of labor leaders, who seek mutual agreement with the bosses and their political parties rather than organizing working people into a militant fight back.

We need organized mass strike action, mass protests, and mass civil disobedience to stop the deportation machine and end all imperialist wars, and to go on the offense for things like free healthcare for all funded by taxing the rich.

The Democratic Party and the Republican Party are completely opposed to any policies that are in the interest of the working class, and they are both capitalist warmongering parties down to their bones.

That is why it is important that Workers Strike Back will be present at May Day events all over the country to talk to people about the urgent need for fighting class struggle movements and campaigns like Kshama's independent revolutionary socialist campaign for Congress, and for our unions to break from the Democratic Party.
