May day being on a Monday is a capitalist plot designed to make me unable to participate in my local rally :negative:

how are y'all doin' may day in your locals? I'm gonna get drunk making posters for the march tonight :cool:

I've actually been somewhat frustrated by mine. It's inspiring, but there's been a lot of unnecessary drama. There's some boring backstory, but we were a "State Level" local group that had to be broken down and zipcodes dolled out and that process took a lot longer than it should have, so our group had an Org Committee that wasn't quite official and it took way too long to become an official chapter. That caused some tension as a real hierarchy and real policies didn't get put in place in time and some people got their feelings hurt. Just your standard volunteer work stuff, people putting in too much time and getting burnt out, people making unilateral decisions in the name of expediency, people getting their toes stepped on. Now we need to come together as a chapter and try to get over all that and get some real structure in place. I think it's also stunted our growth and our ability to do more in the community.

That being said, getting stuff done and doing rallies and coalition-building has been good. I've been working more behind the scenes on getting our tech infrastructure and processes in place. It's progress.

The protest is absolutely nothing like a general strike, and I think we have done enough damage to the language and legacy of labour without cheapening it further.

So please dont

That was just my understanding, must have gotten it confused with a different group that is calling for a work walkout.

This isn't true, there was talk of one earlier this year on mayday, but organizing never came to fruition.

The people were ASTONISHED at his doctrine.

On the bright side, the short term goal is now clear: get to where there can be a general strike in 2018. Take back May Day once and for all! Do it for the Haymarket Martyrs! :anarchists:

:siren: Hello DSA thread. :siren: Your lovely OP has organized a gangtag for those of you who have donated a minimum of $5 to the DSA, if you choose to have it.



If you would like it, please quote this post along side proof of a donation of sufficient quantity. Proof can be simply quoting an older post you made previously that itself contained donation proof, or if you are a new donor that wants it, quote this post alongside proof of that donation.

I can nearly guarantee that your title will be safe and sound underneath your avatars within five (5) business days, or whenever I check this thread, really. :hai:

Took the day off and went to a May Day rally at the state capital. Was a surprisingly good turnout, maybe like 100 people. Not a great outreach opportunity as it was all leftists, but it was a good bit of coalition-building.
