 -international-workers-day/\n\n**Let's join together for an all day celebr
 ation of May Day 2021 starting at 1:00 PM on Boston Common. The Rally will
  be followed by a March to Nubian Square. Upon arrival at Nubian Square\, 
 there will be another Rally followed by a night March at 6:00 PM cosponsor
 ed by New England Front Against Fascism.**\n\nParticipants are asked to pl
 ease wear a mask and keep a six foot distance apart. Hand sanitizer will b
 e provided.\n\nThe deep economic and social crisis we are living through i
 s unprecedented in contemporary history. The death toll in the US from the
  coronavirus has far surpassed the total number of US deaths from World Wa
 r II\, the wars in Korea\, Vietnam\, Iraq\, and Afghanistan combined. Whil
 e so many of us have been dying\, Wall Street has been soaring to all-time
  highs! The depth of the crisis was underscored when fascist lackeys of Tr
 ump and Wall Street took over the Capitol in an effort to steal and overtu
 rn the election. The response of the repressive forces would have been qua
 litatively different if crowds opposing systemic racism and social injusti
 ce had stormed the Capitol. From the evidence emerging\, many folks now un
 derstand that many of the police are merely fascists in uniform and cannot
  be relied upon to defend our rights.\n\nThe brutal murders of Black folks
  by racist police continue while the guilty cops run around free. The broa
 d resistance in the streets to police brutality will continue until there 
 is justice on a broad scale. Let’s celebrate this resistance! In respons
 e to Anti-Asian hate\, solidarity with our Asian sisters and brothers is o
 n the rise. Let’s celebrate this resistance! The resistance can be seen 
 among workers as well. From Amazon workers in Bessemer\, Alabama to striki
 ng MNA nurses in Worcester\, workers are organizing unions and fighting th
 e bosses. Let’s celebrate this resistance! \n\nIn spite of widespread su
 pport for our migrant sisters and brothers\, deportations continue\, and m
 illions of immigrants lack driver’s licenses and legal permanent residen
 t status. The resistance to this Federal repression will continue. Let’s
  celebrate this resistance! From record high temperatures and droughts to 
 deep snow and ice in Texas\, the future of extreme climate is upon us. The
  fossil fuel industries\, the war machine\, and imperial wars have faced w
 orld-wide resistance. Let’s celebrate this resistance!
