Members of ACP California celebrated International Workers' Day with their community in Sacramento. After the Haymarket Affair in 1886, where workers in Chicago went on strike to win the right for an eight-hour work day, May 1 became the international holiday for the celebration of labor. In 1894, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September the American Labor Day holiday, severing Americans from their international proletarian brothers and sisters.
As Communists, we believe workers deserve more than ONE day of rest and celebration, and we are fighting every day to put the working class into the seat of power. Only a government by, for, and of the people can truly serve mankind.
