This year we must take the opportunity to set a long-sought pathway to protection for workers' and immigrants' rights -- so that May Day 2014 can be a day to celebrate the progress we have made together.
But there's only one measure of progress that matters to me, and that's the progress that the American people see in their own lives, day to day, because right now, despite progress, too many Americans are hurting.
So again, I want to thank my colleagues for making this unprecedented gathering a day of unprecedented progress in confronting one of the greatest threats to our global security.
