August 26 Update — Workers from all across the country are rising up and demanding workers over billionaires. This Labor Day, 2025, we need more than a picnic. So we are coming together in small towns and big cities to march, rally, canvas, and connect with our neighbors.

While the federal government tries to take over our cities, workers are coming together to fight back. Together we will make it clear this country doesn't run on the whims of a tyrant, it runs on the labor of working people — and we say No Kings.

More than 1,000 events are already planned. Click here to see the map, and if there isn't an event in your community already, click here to host one.

Our original message from August 12 is below in case you need more info or want to forward to a friend.

Aug 12 — The planet is on fire, a military Junta has taken over DC, and Trump and his MAGA minions are working every angle to make climate denial the law of the United States of America.

So, this Labor Day we need more than barbecues. We need an uprising of workers over billionaires. Fortunately, the same groups that carried out the Earth Day to May Day protests this year, are calling for September 1 to be the next mobilization moment to demand exactly that.

This is a pivotal moment — Trump and his billionaire friends are converting the government into their private slush fund. The money they take from working families, they put in fossil fuel billionaires' pockets and set aside to fund Trump's private army of ICE agents. That's why we’ve been rising up all year from hands off, to the Earth Day to May Day mobilizations, to No Kings and the John Lewis Good Trouble day of action, and more.

Labor Day will be different this year. Working people are rising up and planning canvasses, rallies, marches, and protest barbecues. We are taking action, 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.

We are the many. They are the few. Workers over billionaires. Learn more at MayDayStrong.org.

Thanks for all you do,
