SUMMARY:Virtual Poetry Event: International Worker's Day
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Poetry Event: International Worker’s Day\nSunday May 1\, 2022 – 2 pm -VIRTUAL – International Workers’ Day (Labor Day\, May 1) \nRegistration Required – use this link: \nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMtf–qrT0pGtX7GFWtGu2R5kGRSju8bauy \n  \nInternational Workers’ Day\, also known as Labor Day in most countries and often referred to as May Day\, is a celebration of laborers and the working classes that is promoted by the international labor movement and occurs every year on May Day (1 May). Though it’s celebrated internationally\, Labor Day originated in the United States and has its roots in the rise of trade unions in 19th century Chicago\, their hard-fought battle for workers’ rights\, and the fight for the eight-hour workday. International Workers’ Day was officially recognized in 1889 at the first International Socialist Congress in Paris to commemorate the Haymarket Affair—a bloody confrontation between striking union workers and Chicago police in 1886.
