On the International Workers’ Day, we remember that every right we have, the 8-hour day, weekends, safety laws, was wrested from the bosses by worker solidarity. They want us divided, scared, and grinding ourselves to dust for their profits.
But history’s arc bends toward justice when labor rises together. The machines run on our sweat, the cities stand on our backs, and the future belongs to those who dare to seize it. Solidarity forever; the struggle continues! 
It's Labour Day in Germany and the team at DARC compiled a list of cool resources!
If you have recommendations for good media about labour history and practices, slide them into our DMs. ;)
Hier kann man noch mal die eklige Arroganz der KGruppen nachvollziehen

A Call to Take Action on #May1st
This May Day, gather in defiance of tyranny and oppression. Gather to create communities based in solidarity and mutual aid. Gather with everyone who wants a better life. Gather to honor those who fought before us. Gather to show that another world is possible.

"As May Day 2025 approaches, we face an increasingly grim situation. Donald Trump and his lackeys are restructuring the state, redirecting even more resources towards repression and filling their pockets along the way. They are already deporting students on the basis of their political views and they have made it clear that they intend to escalate to deporting US citizens as well. All the while, the ecological damage, climate disasters, wars, and genocides that were already in progress are only intensifying.
"While some are laying low, hoping that the tide will turn, that is a terrible mistake. How far this nightmare can go will be determined by what people do now to build movements of resistance. The more time passes, the firmer #Trump’s grip on the institutions will be, and the better positioned he will be to expand and intensify repression. Even if Trump’s ill-thought-out policies alone suffice to turn the majority of the population against him, that will not answer the question of how to push him out of power—he has already shown that he will not leave office willingly. It also will not ensure that what comes after will be any better. Remember, we ended up in this situation because of the catastrophic reign of the #Biden administration.
There’s no way around it: we have to build powerful grassroots movements through which to defend each other and popularize a radical analysis of what we are up against.
"May Day offers a perfect occasion for this. For nearly a century and a half, anarchists and other revolutionaries have observed it as a day of celebration and resistance. Tapping into this longstanding tradition offers many reference points for what we can do right now.
"Wherever you are, you can do something for May Day. Better yet, organize a week of events, including education, mutual aid, arts and entertainment, and a march or demonstration."

Heading to a "work meeting" with friends in Exarchia, have to walk through a bunch of riot cops firing tear gas, seemingly for practice as the festivities haven't yet started. #MayFirst
