Some points I can add to this article are:

Why are people protesting?
What are the identities of the protestors? Are they low-income? Working class?
Had there already been tension prior to the protests? If so, what kind of tension and between who?
Are there May Day protests every year?
What made the 2012 May Day protest different from the years prior or after?
Why is the protest called May Day?Mmoua (talk) 05:40, 2 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comments/Suggestions: - Good start on the introductory paragraph under "History". The first sentence in the following paragraph you can do without, it serves more as a filler than actual substance. - Under the United States section, it would be cool to see some stats or figures such as estimated attendance, number of protests estimated to have occurred. - Instead of having a section specifically for Asia, perhaps having it focus on other countries in the U.S., unless you wnt to focus on a specific region. - An image of a May Day Protest would help tie the intro together. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Veronica93 (talk • contribs) 17:32, 4 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
