Top o’ the mornin’, all ye brave volunteers! I know we’re all feeling free and green with St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner and season 2 of Rebellion on Netflix, but did you know that Irish national hero and Easter martyr James Connolly was a founding member of the Industrial Workers of the World? The Dublin Transport Union was one of the earliest IWW affiliates, and the Irish Citizen Army was first commissioned to keep striking workers safe.

When Connolly went out on Easter Day, he didn’t just go out for Irish freedom, but for all of the workers all over the world.

Learn more about Connolly’s union over at https://iww.org/
