Input at Open Antifa Meeting Berlin
The Haymarket Affair, also known as the Haymarket Riot, was a violent confrontation between police and workers in Chicago on May 4, 1886, which became a symbol of the international struggle for workers’ rights. Since that day was declared International Workers’ Day by the Second International in 1889, it has been associated with May 1.
The input will take place as part of our open meeting. Anyone who wants to is welcome to stay afterwards to discuss past and upcoming events, network, and contribute their own ideas and actions!
