Friday May 1st. Global Call for Anarchist and Anti Authoritarian Solidarity
For the past decade precarity, poverty and police "democracy" have been at the forefront of our lives. Public space and service has been replaced with law and order. Austerity for all is now simply just the way things are. Ten years of worsening conditions, now it seems that cracks are beginning to form.
Mayday has always been a point of contention. As anarchist and radical movements lost and gained strength, so did the anarchistic, rebellious spirit of May 1st. For years May 1st was the day to display global revolutionary solidarity. Many of us remember what Mayday used to be. Anarchist actions, parades, parties and events everywhere. We would watch other actions around the world, take inspiration from them and move forward.
This moment in time is not sustainable. Brutal war, climate catastrophe and failing austerity economies are shared realities for a vast majority of people. And within that reality people have lost all faith in the global social and political order. Everyone is waiting and cheering for its end.
This is why we call on groups and individuals to reinvigorate May 1st. Lets move in a way that weakens the pillars of this broken world.
For a rebellious Mayday! See you in the streets!
