Here comes another celebration on 1st May. We are encouraged to reflect on the history of the working class. We want decent work, a fairer society and a more equal economy, that enable us to live in dignity.
We carry out this struggle on a daily basis, whether the sun is shining or the rain is pouring. We finish late in the evening and start early in the morning, to work or to look for a job. Through this action to support oneself or a family, we realise that we are not alone. There are dozens, hundreds, thousands, millions of people who, like us, after drinking a coffee or a glass of water, struggle for a fair salary, so that all workers’ dignity is respected in this world with so many inequalities. One cannot but wonder: why VERY FEW people have a lot whereas MANY have so little, my God, isn’t the wealth of this planet intended to all!

Lord, you entrust us the earth "Be fruitful, multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it" (Genesis 1:28). You have placed man in the centre of creation and you have entrusted him this world according your heart: a world in which to live, a world where mercy, kindness prevail over violence, a fraternal, solidary world where the weak and the youngest are respected and loved.

This will be possible if we fight for social protection, which reaches all workers, especially the poorest.
What makes the dignity of every human being is the right to work, a roof, land, clean water, food, safety, Education, Health, Liberty ...
As Church Movement, Jesus Christ sends us to announce and carry this Good News to all nations

Around 150 people from more than 65 countries find again in Rome. We were summoned by the "sacred rights" of Land, Lodging and Labour (the 3L), which are still violently violated throughout the planet. Again the cry of popular movements that another world is possible, that it is possible to be better people.
