May 1st is International Workers' Day, a day to celebrate resistance to capitalism. Working and poor people now face layoffs, massive social cutbacks (especially in health care and education), evictions and homelessness, police repression and endless war. This May Day many people will seek to unify the struggles against capital’s wars here and around the world. Actions are planned for the day and evening in San Francisco and Berkeley.
