Kingston May Day to return to the streets Sunday (Toronto Star)

Kingston MAy Day Collective will once again mark May 1st as a celebration of May Day and International Workers Day after a two year absence.

“We also have to take an ecological perspective and we need to weave in social movements of solidarity of all kinds... There’s more concrete ways that they can build their collective power.” “It’s an empowering experience to be able to take to the street,” Sacco said. We really do try to pitch a pretty big tent for people who are involved in struggles of liberation of all kinds to be able to come together and celebrate our struggles and our shared situation.” “We’ve tried to mark international worker days and highlight class struggle issues in town and anti-capitalist perspectives,” Sacco said. The green side dates back to more Pagan traditions of celebrating spring, and Sacco says in Kingston they try to “tip their hat” to both traditions.
