For #Mayday Olúfẹ́mi O. Táíwò writes on Protests as Promises -- to ourselves!

'..for protests to succeed, they must be backed by movements with the ability to promise to withhold—labor, debt payments, rent payments, or consumer support—and to follow through if demands aren’t met.'

On May Day it's good to recall that #strikes and #picketlines are the original sites of #human #solidarity and consciousness, going all the way back to our foremothers of the #African #MiddleStoneAge!

Without the strike, the labor movement’s claim to power falls apart.
