International Solidarity - Labor Movement - May Day - Workers' Rights

Tutustu May Dayn eri ilmiöihin ja tapahtumiin ympäri maailmaa! 🌺🎉

Toukokuun saapuessa maailma täyttyy erilaisista tapahtumista ja juhlista. Perinteisestä Beltane-juhlasta noitien tapaan moderniin työläisten kohtalosta kertovaan kampanjaan, toukokuussa riittää kaikenlaista nähtävää. Haikoun duty free -ostoskeskus vie shoppailijat seikkailuun pop-up-tapahtumiin ja alennuksiin. Samalla kun hurmioituvat shoppailusta, on yksi maailmanpolitiikan tärkeimmistä tapahtumista PM Leen viimeinen merkittävä poliittinen puhe ennen vallanvaihtoa DPM Lawrence Wongille. Worcesterin asuntokriisi saa huomiota May Day -mielenosoituksessa, osoittaen tarpeen kohtuuhintaisen asumisen turvaamiseen. May Day innostaa yhdistämään voimat ja seisomaan ilmastomisinformaatiota vastaan, vahvistaen kansainvälistä yhteisvastuuta.
