Joint greetings from the Communist Party of the United States (CPUSA) and the Popular Socialist Party of Mexico (PPSM) to the working class of the world, and in particular to those of the United States of America and Mexico.
In the face of the threat of North American imperialism, today represented by Donald Trump, which empowers right-wing forces around the world and various fascist expressions by promoting racist, xenophobic, misogynistic, and discriminatory discourses that foster hatred against migrants, the working class, and vulnerable sectors of the population, our parties express their solidarity with the struggle of the workers and peoples of the world who daily combat the attempts of new colonialisms and the subjugation of peoples for the sake of the domination of global monopoly and financial capital.
In this context, the American people have mobilized against the imperialist capitals of their country and in defense of their rights and interests. Similarly, the Mexican people are rising today in a sovereign transformative process toward national independence, the expansion of the democratic regime, and social well-being. Workers in the United States and Mexico are uniting their struggles for their class rights and full emancipation.
For this reason, in the face of the concentration of wealth and power in the hands of a few corporations and wealthy individuals, we vindicate the historical struggles of the working class, particularly of migrants whose rights to a fair income for their families are violated. We demand decent wages, social security, respect for the rights of working women, the right to rest, the defense of unions, and protection for farm workers who face grueling and precarious work. We firmly believe in advancing the construction of a world in which the working class is guaranteed a dignified life and our people are free from all forms of exploitation, colonialism, and oppression.
In the face of the aggressions of Donald Trump’s corporate and fascist government, let us defend the rights of migrant workers!
Migration is not a crime; fighting is a right!
No walls or deportations!
Against hatred and exploitation: unity of the working class!
For a combative and united May Day!
“Workers of all countries, unite”

The Communist Party USA is a revolutionary working-class political party founded in 1919 in Chicago, IL.
The Communist Party stands for the interests of the American working class and the American people. It stands for our interests in both the present and the future. Solidarity with workers of other countries is also part of our work. We work in coalition with the labor movement, the peace movement, the student movement, organizations fighting for equality and social justice, the environmental movement, immigrants rights groups and the health care for all campaign.
But to win a better life for working families, we believe that we must go further. We believe that the American people can replace capitalism with a system that puts people before profit — socialism.
We are rooted in our country's revolutionary history and its struggles for democracy. We call for "Bill of Rights" socialism, guaranteeing full individual freedoms.
