Demonstrate the power of the working and oppressed, raise their demands and unite in the squares on May Day!

This May Day, the world working class carries the pain and rage over hundreds of thousands of workers, toilers, poor and unemployed who have died because of the corona virus to the streets. This is also the pain and rage over the aggravated men‘s violence against women under the pandemic! This is also the pain and rage over unemployment and poverty that make the lives of billions of people unbearable!

Armed with its pain and rage, the working class, which carries the world on its shoulders, will call out on May Day its yearnings and demands for freedom, social justice, the end of capitalist exploitation and patriarchy, and will demand equal rights for languages and nations. It will call on all the oppressed to unite and fight against the imperialist system that is plunging humanity and the entire world into annihilation.

The working class in Turkey and Kurdistan must also join this chorus with a loud voice. The oppressed, which include women, Kurds, poor, laborers, LGBTI+, different national communities, Alevis, anti-capitalist or feminist Muslims, Christians and art and literature workers producing for the people, must unite for a free and dignified life with the army of the working class, which consists of millions of women and men, in the streets and squares.
