And today is May 1, known as May Day, or International Workers’ Day. Around the world, protests have already begun, with workers pouring into the streets today in Taiwan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, Greece, Iraq, Pakistan, Russia, the Philippines, Turkey and beyond. In the United States, May Day protests are planned in hundreds of cities. They’ll be led by immigrant workers, thousands of whom are expected to go on strike today to demand better working conditions and an end to President Trump’s crackdown against immigration and immigrant communities.
