About May Day

May Day is observed on 1 May each year as International Workers' Day in most countries around the world, celebrating the labour movement and the rights of working people. The date has its roots in the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago and has been a rallying point for workers' rights for over a century.

The Raised fist is the defining symbol of May Day, representing solidarity and the collective power of workers. 🌹 Rose has long been associated with the labour movement and socialist traditions, while 💪 Flexed biceps symbolises the strength and determination of the workforce.

May Day marches and rallies take place in cities across the globe, from Berlin to Buenos Aires. 🔧 Hammer and wrench represents the trades and industries at the heart of the movement, 🌍 Globe showing europe africa underscores its international reach, and ❤️ Red heart — red being the colour of labour — ties the celebrations together.
