The folks who run the planet have 364 days in their honor — the people whose labor makes it run have only one. So happy May Day.

I didn’t want to make a gimmicky “special May Day” offer. After all, today should be about more than consumption, even if that consumption takes the form of a radical publication. But we like to think of Jacobin as a focal point for an emerging left. A place where people can have clear and open discussions, where they can disagree with the material we run, but still take comfort that there’s many others committed to engaging in those debates.

We want more folks to take part in that conversation — that’s why for May Day we decided to ask Jacobin subscribers to help us get gift subscriptions in the hands of anyone who might be interested. Yearlong subscriptions to the glossy print edition of the magazine start at $14.95, half off the usual price.
