May Day 2018
b"Most of the world recognizes May 1\\u2014May Day\\u2014as International Workers\\u2019 Day. Here in one of the few countries that doesn\\u2019t, it\\u2019s worth pausing to ask how U.S. workers are doing.At an event last December, Fight for $15 organizer Terrence Wise recalled \\u201cgoing to bed at night, ignoring my own stomach\\u2019s rumbling, but having to hear my three little girls\\u2019 stomachs rumble. That\\u2019s something no parent should have to endure.\\u201dWise was marking the launch of the Poor People\\u2019s Campaign: A National Call for Moral Revival.\\n\\nLast month, the Institute for Policy Studies and the Poor People\\u2019s Campaign released The Souls of Poor Folk, a report on 50 years of change in the issues that affect working people, and particularly those at the bottom. We looked at systemic racism, poverty, militarism, and ecological devastation.
