This is a pivotal moment. The billionaire agenda is dismantling our government: overseeing mass firings, gutting worker protections and social services, and transferring wealth to the 1% while funding a private army of ICE agents.
This Labor Day won’t just be a barbecue. Across the country, unions and community organizations are deepening our coalitions, growing our capacity, and standing shoulder-to-shoulder to fight back. Workers are confronting attacks on public schools, civil rights, and democracy, while supporting each other’s local fights against workplace abuse.
Workers Over Billionaires is a nationwide day of action on Monday, September 1. We’re turning Labor Day into a day of protest to demand:
Fully funded public schools
Health care for all
Defense of workers’ rights, immigrant families, and Black and brown communities
Building on past actions, from Hands Off to May Day to No Kings, Good Trouble, we’re aiming for 2,000+ rallies across the country. This fight won’t be won in the courts or at the ballot box alone, it will be won through collective action.
