May Day

I've been following The Frame for a couple of years. This is a photo blog from the Sacramento Bee that features photo essays on a variety of subjects. I especially like their global perspective. Their photos are huge and well curated!

This May Day series of photos from around the globe are especially inspiring. It's a good reminder that the struggle for workers rights affects us all. I've included a few of the photos, but you should hit the link to see the whole series!
