Pics from Unión Migrante’s annual International Workers’ Day March! We are proud to stand in solidarity with immigrant workers, our allies in the unions, and the socialist movement as we stand up for dignity, legalization, and human rights for all workers.

Incredible march today uniting farm workers, education workers, city workers, Duke grad workers, REI, Starbucks, Amazon and so many more workers for #mayday

Tonight in Durham, we joined workers from across industries to celebrate May Day, a day about the worker's struggle and solidarity.

We hope everyone got to feel some worker power today. 💪

From UNC to Arcata and NYC, the brutality of unaccountable admin was laid bare yesterday. We MUST continue to build orgs with the strength to fight back, on and off campus. Today, we stand as part of Durham Workers Assembly to DEMAND Duke do better.

Happy May Day to all. See you there!

WATCH: Emory professors staged a walk-out on last day of classes, calling for removal of Emory president, Gregory Fenves.

Fenves apologized for initial response pointing to “mischaracterization” of protesters.

20 of the 28 arrested were Emory students & staff.

Solidarity with students + workers mobilizing to stop the US supported genocide in Palestine. The raids & repression - carried out w bipartisan support - are reprehensible & a dangerous escalation by the state against our movements. Build & expand the encampments! Free Palestine!

Violence against students is an act of cowardice and shame.

“I’m here to set the record straight as a proud union man born and raised here. I can tell you this: these out-of-touch lawmakers who collect taxpayer-funded salaries but don’t lift a finger to help their hardworking constituents are the real leeches.” al.com/opinion/2024/0…

'Time’s up for a system of exploitation that destroys lives, families, and communities.
The clock has run out on corporate greed.
And today belongs to the working class.'

Over 7,000 workers at Daimler Truck were ready to strike, and the company folded. UAW workers won big, securing 25% pay increases, profit sharing for the first time, eliminating tiers, and more.

Daimler workers have taught us all a valuable lesson that the billionaires know…

For far too long, the South has been a low wage, high profits colony where corporations & the ruling class squeeze workers with impunity. No longer. The Stand Up Movement is spreading & workers are joining together to fight for a better life for their families & their communities
