Hey all you world changers out there,
#
May Day began with 300,000 workers walking off the job — kicking off a US general strike that put the people's feet on the neck of corporations and established the 8-hour work day.
Real revolutionary fervor coursed through America and we took back some small portion of the freedom that each of us is born with. But over the last few years, May Day has lost some of its revolutionary fervor.
Here are 3 things you can do to get it back — each a strategic move that helps break Big Finance's stranglehold on our lives

Take your dog for a walk around your financial district.
Forcefully deposit old eggs and compost.
In cities everywhere, let an unbearable stench waft through the offices of Big Finance.

This is harder. You may want to think about it and set aside a whole afternoon to pull it off: You take your money out of the big banks and put it into a local co-op or credit union.

And here’s something deeper: Let’s drape ATMs with garlands, decorate them with flowers, crucifixes, votive candles, incense burners, little statues of the Virgin of Guadaloupe.
Let’s surround them with mementos of all that we sacrifice in the struggle for economic survival: our time, our families, our freedom, our joy. Let’s place at ATMs the photos of friends and loved ones who took their own lives because they couldn’t handle unemployment, homelessness, or hopelessness anymore. Let’s decorate them with little postcards of Jesus throwing the moneylenders out of the temple, and with visions of a better and fairer world.
Let’s turn them into symbols of the fight for a new kind of meaning.

For the Wild,
