MAY DAY ORGANIZING COMMITTEE
The May Day Organizing Committee was organized in 2006. We are made up of anti-imperialist, democratic and progressive individuals and organizations coming together to carry out the following political work:
1. To expose and oppose the heightened neo-liberal attacks on workers in Canada, including the exploitation and oppression of migrant, immigrant, undocumented, and indigenous workers
2. To expose and oppose the imperialist nature of Canada, through its plunder of the third world and particularly its role in the exploitation of workers from the third world and the forced migration of third world workers to Canada.
3. To continue our work of reclaiming the militant tradition of May 1 as International Workers' Day.
4. To foster genuine solidarity amongst all workers, whether they be migrant, immigrant, undocumented, indigenous, or Canadian workers, and all exploited and oppressed sectors in Canadian society.
5. To continue to build international solidarity among workers and oppressed people around the world against imperialist globalization, war and plunder.
