Workers Over Billionaires (Hilo)
LABOR DAY PROTEST AND DEMONSTRATION This Labor Day we are planning more than a barbeque. We have to stop the billionaire takeover. They are converting the government into their private slush fund and just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money this administration takes from working families is put into billionaires' pockets and set aside to fund a private army of ICE agents. The way we stop the takeover is with collective action. We are working people rising up to stop the billionaires and this regime - not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger coalition. We are growing our movement and fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us - not just a chosen few. On September 1st we will continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing together 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 - Be a part of the action! Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires. Creative signs and colorful clothing are appreciated. Family friendly language is preferred. Even though our cause is very serious, our events are fun and a great opportunity to build community. Please carpool and bring water. Include your friends, your joy and your commitment to defend democracy! Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate and potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.
