Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: ''On Tuesday, May 1st, known as May Day or International Workers' Day, Occupy Wall Street protesters hope to mobilize tens of thousands of people across the country under the slogan, 'General Strike. No Work. No Shopping. Occupy Everywhere.' Events are planned in 125 cities. We speak with leading social theorist David Harvey, distinguished professor of anthropology at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, about how Occupy Wall Street compares to other large-scale grassroots movements throughout modern history.''

Occupy Oakland, Workers Back Off May Day Plan to Shut Down Golden Gate Bridge

Susie Cagle, AlterNet: ''May Day protest actions are planned across the region, state and nation, but many eyes are on the flashpoint of Occupy Oakland, where organizers say 'traditional labor and precarious workers will strike together for the first time' at Occupy s call. 'It's an interesting convergence of unorganized labor and the Occupy movement creating this pressure and momentum that encourages the rank and file to plan strikes on this day,' said Steven Angell, an organizer with Occupy Oakland.''
