The notice is from Marc Wells, no
relation to Jeremy Wells. As a WSWS reader and supporter, I look forward to
this unique May Day on-line rally
that willhappening this Sunday morning, May 4,2014.

Subject: Attend the historical May Day online rally!
Dear Readers, Friends and Supporters,
To mark the historic May Day of international working class solidarity, the
International Committee of the Fourth International and the World Socialist Web
Site have called an International Online Rally for this coming Sunday, May 4.
The rally will be held at 8:00 am US Pacific Time and broadcast simultaneously
throughout the world.
Since the WSWS announced the online rally one month ago, there has been an
extraordinary response from readers and supporters all over the world. This
will be a truly global event. So far, workers and young people from more than
60 countries on every continent (except Antarctica) have registered. One
registrant from Sri Lanka summed up a sentiment expressed by many when he
wrote, "This is an opportunity for the international working class to get
together and participate in the most important event in history so far."
As WSWS International Editorial Board Chairman David North explained in a
perspective published last month, the online rally will reclaim the
revolutionary socialist traditions of May Day. The crucial significance of this
task is clear in light of the political context in which the rally will be
held. One hundred years after the beginning of World War I and 75 years after
the beginning of World War II, the danger of global war once again looms over
humanity. The United States and Germany are intensifying their campaign against
Russia over the crisis in Ukraine, which began with a right-wing coup organized
in Washington. The reckless and incendiary actions of imperialism threaten to
provoke the first war between nuclear-armed powers in history.
The international working class must take a stand! It is time fight back
against war and the irrational and historically bankrupt capitalist system that
creates it. It is time to fight back against the relentless attack on
democratic rights. It is time to fight back against a society in which wealth
is monopolized and the entire economy controlled by a tiny elite, a society in
which the wealthiest 85 individuals now control more assets than the poorest
half of the world's population!
Speakers from around the world will include:
* David North, Chairman of the WSWS International Editorial Board and
Socialist Equality Party (US) National Chairman
* Peter Schwarz, Secretary of the International Committee of the Fourth
International
* Nick Beams, National Secretary of the SEP (Australia)
* Wije Dias, General Secretary of the SEP (Sri Lanka)
* Joseph Kishore, National Secretary of the SEP (US)
* Chris Marsden, National Secretary of the SEP (UK)
* Julie Hyland, Assistant National Secretary of the SEP (UK)
* James Cogan, Assistant National Secretary of the SEP (Australia)
* Andre Damon, National Secretary (US) of the International Youth and
Students for Social Equality
These speakers will address the basic political questions that confront the
working class internationally and outline a program for a world socialist
movement against war, inequality and dictatorship.
Don't miss this unique and historic event! Make plans to join us on Sunday.
Register today at internationalmayday.org.
Sincerely,
Marc Well
