May Day Poster from Just Seeds.
Image: Black, off-white, and red block print stylized image of people, holding up musical instruments, hammers, and fists. The people are mostly in black outlined in off-white, each with a red heart in the center of the chest. Above them (in the background) is a row of tall buildings, and above that, the sun to the left and the moon and stars to the right. Below them, the word "May Day" is part of the image in dramatically-angled letters.
Caption: May Day is International Workers’ Day, a time of celebration and opposition throughout the world, except in the United States where it began. May Day commemorates the May 1, 1886 nationwide protest for the eight-hour day and the following “Haymarket Affair,” a pivotal event in the history of workers’ and anarchist movements in which four labor organizers were hanged by the State in Chicago. May Day is also the ancient celebration of Spring and rebirth—the traditional time for planting new seeds in old ground.
Celebrate People's History.

Mayday Cartoon by Stephanie McMillan.
Headline: May First: International Workers Day
Image: four people of varied colors & apparent genders, ethnicities, nations, looking toward the right, as one says "You have nothing to lose but your chains!" To the right, looking back at them, one person holds up their arms as shackles fall away; their speech bubble says, "You know, these never did look good on me!" Everyone is smiling.
