BALTIMORE MAY DAY: JOIN THE
NATIONAL SHUTDOWN!

As the US ruling class attempt to wage endless wars abroad, as they send ICE into our communities, as they cut funding for all of the things we actually need, working and oppressed people across the country and world are struggling.

And with every assault, every act of aggression, energy for change rises. Every day, the system requires us to go to work, to go to school, to shop.

But that means that we have the power to bring the system to a grinding halt. This is the power of the general strike, to refuse business as usual.

We can shut things down until our demands are met. Workers have the power to make the changes we know are necessary.

We demand an end to the US’s endless wars! We demand ICE out of our communities! We demand money for people’s needs instead of the US war machine.

🗣️ ALL OUT FOR MAY DAY
