SecsOn Saturday, May 4, the International Committee of the Fourth International and the World Socialist Web Site will celebrate May Day with an online rally, featuring speakers from throughout the world.
May Day 2024 takes place amid the deepening genocide in Gaza, the threat of a regional war in the Middle East targeting Iran, the ongoing US-NATO war against Russia in Ukraine, and the growing moves towards direct conflict with China. A new imperialist redivision of the world is now underway, and the threat of nuclear conflict is higher today than at any point in the Cold War.
Within the international working class, opposition is growing to war, attacks on democratic rights and in particular the horrific genocide in Gaza. Millions of people have protested on every continent against the genocide, demanding their governments cut ties to the Zionist regime in Israel.
Protests against the genocide and war have been ineffectual because imperialism cannot be reformed. It must be overthrown. Above all, this requires the building of a revolutionary socialist leadership in the working class. This year’s May Day Rally will provide a perspective and program for the building of this leadership and a way forward in the fight for a socialist future.
The rally will be streamed live at wsws.org/mayday. Please register using the form on this page and make a donation to help us build the rally as widely as possible.

The New Year opens against the backdrop of a massive escalation of imperialist violence throughout the world. Genocide and nuclear war are being normalized.
This critical question-and-answer session, organized by the IYSSE at Wayne State University, should be studied by all those who want to stop the genocide in Gaza.
This lecture was given by World Socialist Web Site International Editorial Board Chairman David North at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Tuesday, March 12.
The International May Day 2023 Online Rally provided a political direction to growing opposition in the working class to imperialist war, social inequality, the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, the threat of fascism and all the evils of a crisis-ridden capitalism.
Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida’s visit to the US this week marks a major step in Washington’s consolidation of alliances throughout the Indo-Pacific and its accelerating preparations for war with China.
The German defence minister has made no secret that the restructuring of the Bundeswehr (Armed Forces) means creating an offensive military machine able to conduct total war.
Israel's genocide in Gaza, which is funded, armed, and defended by the imperialist powers, is part of a global eruption of capitalist barbarism.
Seventy-five years after its foundation, the NATO military alliance is closer to triggering a Third World War than ever before.
