| Freedom lovers and socialist women join the May Day celebrations with the flag of universal human rights! All Freedom lovers and militant women! This year while we are organizing to celebrate International worker's day, Iran's society is under unique circumstances due to immanent threat of a US military action in the near future. Even though Iran is a country with the population of 70 million it is still perceived as a military threat to the USA. Nevertheless, the Iranian government is thinking of taking advantage of this situation. It must be noted that the Iranian people are increasingly becoming the subject to the dreadful system of oppression, gender discrimination, absolute lack of rights for women and contempt. Nevertheless, the Islamic government in Iran is using this atmosphere of military threats and psychological militarism created by the USA to suppress workers protests and struggles. The Islamic republic of Iran has proclaimed a war against women to further impose its compulsory veiling on women. Here, our first priority is to organize May Day Celebrations across the globe in as many different cities as possible to break the fearful atmosphere that the Islamic regime has attempted to create. It is our aim to strive towards the goal of gathering a vast number of workers, worker's families, freedom loving women, and also the general public to celebrate May Day. Rallies, social gatherings, different ceremonies, and all demonstrations of cont.on.pg.5 free.from.pg.1 existing militants workers, working and socialist women, should be supported in factories, schools, universities and all public places. By supporting and reinforcing different networks of progressive and socialist workers, which has a place and has been influenced by socialist women, will become a gateway to create an opportunity for meetings, participating, and organizing towards future struggles. The participation of progressive women, with the slogans of women's movements, is an important part of the struggle and is a significant component of the modern manifest of humanity against oppression and suppression of capitalism. In the workers gatherings on May Day, passing resolutions which states the important rights that workers are deprived of, is a significant measure during the May Day celebration. This resolution should include the proclamation of all the universal rights of humanity as a progressive manifesto for society. On the first day of May, we will announce to the world, that we the workers and the freedom seeking women and socialists recognize our rights, women's rights, and human rights. On this note we will declare that we will not retreat from our goals to free humanity from the suppression and shackles of capitalism. On this day we will also announce that the representative and spokesperson of humanity will resist and defeat the reactionary and barbarism of capitalism. We will also strive for the elimination of the fearful atmosphere of war that is created in Iran. We are struggling to attain workers and women's rights. Long live May Day!
