----------------------
The May Day 2007 Organizing Committee was initiated by *International League
of Peoples' Struggles (ILPS) *participating organizations in Vancouver in
2006. It is made up of democratic and progressive individuals and
organizations coming together to carry out the following political work:

1.    To expose and oppose the heightened attacks on workers in Canada under
the neo-liberal agenda, including the exploitation and oppression of
migrant, immigrant, and undocumented labour in Canada.
2.    To reclaim the militant tradition of May 1.
3.    To foster genuine solidarity between migrant, immigrant, undocumented
workers, Canadian workers, and all exploited and oppressed sectors in
Canadian society.
4.    To continue to build international solidarity against the onslaught of
imperialist globalization among workers and oppressed people around the
world.

 *We welcome and invite any individual or organization who agree with the
above basis of unity to join or endorse the May Day 2007 Organizing
Committee. Contact us at ilps_canada at shawcable.com

"Conscientization unmasks evil. But the deeper truth of reality is positive.
Conscientization helps us recognize that things are much worse than we
thought. But, as we grow in that understanding, we also grow in awareness
that reality is much more wonderful than we dared to imagine. There is a
revolution of love, precarious and persecuted, underway everywhere." Dean
Brackley, S.J.
