FWIW, I've been telling people to wear red on May Day..........

(BTW, cross posted in GD). Even if you can't actively participate in the Economic Day of Disruption, you can at least show solidarity.

In this country the main job at this time is to build class consciousness and this would be a way to begin that.

I've got a bright red one with "Worker's of the world, unite" printed on it and I've got one with a picture of Trotsky on the front. The Trotsky one is my fav of course, but it's more maroon than red. So I'll probably go for the red one.
