00:34We won a victory. Let's first say that.
00:38That we won a victory with the drawdown of ice.
00:41Now, it's a temporary victory and it's just a battle in the war,
00:46but we did win a victory.
00:47And part of the two things contributed to that in my mind.
00:50One is the rapid response, the mutual aid networks was like the defensive struggle,
00:57and then the offensive struggle was the mass strike on January 23rd.
01:03And it takes both things for us to keep on going and to win.
01:08One is complimentary to the other.
01:11Workers can interfere with the flow of profits of the billionaire class like nobody else.
01:19So now I want to talk just real briefly about the fact that on May 1st, May Day,
01:26which used to be celebrated in the United States in a big way,
01:30and I think it's making a comeback.
01:33May Day, there's a number of the same organizations and unions
01:38that called for January 23rd as a mass strike that are calling for no work, no school, no shopping on
01:46May 1st.
01:46Take our daughters and our sons. Everyone must stand behind the ones behind the wire.
