Labor, together with our communities, are planning more than barbecues on Labor Day. Billionaires are converting our tax dollars into their private slush fund. On their behalf, Congress — coerced by Trump — passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from working families goes into billionaires’ pockets as tax cuts, while much more is set aside to fund a private army of ICE agents.
We are working people rising up to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are growing our movement and fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us—and not just a chosen few.
On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.
Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand on Labor Day. Join us! Together we will DEMAND a country that puts workers over billionaires.
OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:
Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.
Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.
Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all.
Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.
Invest in people not wars.
Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
PLEASE ATTEND THE SHORT ZOOM MEETING TO BE HELD A COUPLE OF DAYS BEFORE THE EVENT. YOU WILL RECEIVE AN INVITATION BY EMAIL THE DAY BEFORE THE ZOOM MEETING.
