Manoomin May Day

AIM Wounded Knee Occupation solidarity poster (Detail), 1973.

“The righteous shall inherit the land and dwell therein for ever.”

– Psalms 37:29

The international worker’s day must become a day to protect the earth, its air, and waters. We are co-creators.

War is a means of conquering at home, Tom Paine said in Rights of Man. Randolph Bourne died of the 1919 ‘flu but had written that war is the health of the state.  The war in Ukraine now threatens the energy systems, the food systems, and ideas of sovereignty.  I’ll reflect on manoomin, this workers’ holiday, and ‘the rights of nature.’
