Join us May 1st 2022 Sunday May 1st at 12pm GATHER at Roosevelt Park MARCH to SJ City Hall Please Wear a Mask! May Day is celebrated in most countries around the world as International Workers' Day, but has not been generally recognized as a special day or a holiday in the United States because of conscious efforts by ruling elites to suppress labor activism. But on May 1, 2006, May Day was reborn in the U.S. out of fear that undocumented workers, most of whom are frontline workers, would be criminalized by a new bill (HR 4437) passed in the House of Representatives in December 2005. The nationwide protests, collectively one of the largest mobilizations in U.S. history, killed the bill in the Senate. Ever since 2006, the May Day marches for workers' rights and immigration reform have become a revived tradition in this country. Although May 1 was chosen because immigrant communities remember the celebrations of International Workers' Day on this date in their countries of origin, May First is not new to the United States. International Workers' Day on May 1 was, in fact, not only born in the United States, but born out of fear of police raids on immigrant workers.
