Our comrades at It's Going Down have published a roundup of inspiring May Day events around the county, showing all the different forms that organizing and resistance are assuming.
https://itsgoingdown.org/may-day-2025-roundup/
You can read our original call for May Day organizing here, including a list of events across the world:
https://crimethinc.com/MayDay2025
"The massive turn-out on May Day shows that there is growing working-class opposition to Trump’s authoritarianism as well as the neoliberalism on offer from the Democratic party. Autonomous anti-capitalist movements from below must seize the moment and build rank-and-file power and answer Trump’s attacks with self-organization, direct action, and our biggest collective weapon: solidarity."

Even if your intention is simply to negotiate, you put yourself in a weaker bargaining position by spelling out from the beginning the least it would take to appease you. No shrewd negotiator begins by making concessions. It’s smarter to appear implacable:
"So you want to come to terms? Make us an offer. In the meantime, we’ll be here blocking the freeway and setting things on fire."

Why We Don't Make Demands
The problem isn’t that today’s movements lack demands—the problem is the politics of demands itself. The alternative is to set our agenda on our own terms, outside the discourse of those in power.

A l’heure où Donald Trump, Elon Musk et leurs laquais s’en prennent aux sans-papiers et kidnappent des immigrés qui s’opposent au génocide, même quand ils sont porteurs de Green Card, c’est un bon moment pour étudier comment des gens se sont opposés à la violence d’état dans d’autres lieux et d’autres temps.

Iran: Precarious Work Means Precarious Life
On April 26, 2025, a few days before International Workers’ Day, a massive explosion rocked Iran’s Rajaee Port, inflicting a yet-unknown number of deaths and injuries. Among the victims were day laborers from the Baluch ethnic minority, many of whom are systematically denied official identity papers by the Islamic Republic of Iran.
In this analysis, a Baluch feminist collective in Iran analyze the Rajaee Port disaster to show how economic and political pressure on ethnic minorities plays a fundamental role in capitalism all around the world.
