From the stolen labor of slavery to the underpaid, essential work that powers this country today, Black workers have built and led labor movements from the ground up. We’ve organized in warehouses, hospitals, classrooms, and fields—often without recognition, but never without impact.

And still, we face a growing racial wealth gap, the gutting of labor protections, and right-wing attacks designed to weaken unions—disproportionately harming Black working-class communities.

The bond between Black liberation and labor power is historic and unbreakable. This May Day, we recommit to fighting side-by-side with Black workers everywhere—on the picket line, in the streets, and at every site of resistance.
