This powerful e-collection of images, poems and prose is a virtual May Day procession, celebrating the core values of the labour movement around the importance of ‘the commons’—co-operation, collective action, solidarity and the dignity of labour. These values have never been more relevant than they are nowadays, in the midst of this Covid-19 crisis.
Please disseminate it, publicise it, and tell your friends!
