Tonight, may day, is
international workers day – a day celebrating a radical past, a day
celebrating a radical future. It is also a day acting in solidarity
with comrades and against the many racist, fascist, fucked up things
happening everyday by those in power. It is a day against authority – a
day for us.
There are endless
reasons for being against authority. For example, in Arizona the
fascist law SB1070 was past not more than a week ago. Because of this
police can stop people based on how they look and ask for you “to show
your papers.” That’s some fucked up Nazi shit. In lower Allston, over
the past couple of weeks, there has been an increase in police patrols,
targeting people of color. In the meantime Harvard and business are
moving into the area, beginning the process if making it more expensive
to live, forcing people elsewhere.
A couple of days ago, a
support and solidarity caravan to the autonomous municipality of San
Juan Copala, Oaxaca was attacked by state paramilitaries. This night is
for you all as well. Stay strong – fight back.
Tonight will not change
anything. Tonight is meant to celebrate what we have. Tonight is meant
to show the possibility of another world.
