Tomorrow
is a celebration of Labor Day, a holiday that goes back over 100 years and
is rooted in the work of labor activists pushing to recognize
contributions of American workers to our nation's prosperity.

A century later, working class families are still bearing the brunt of an
unjust economy.

Donald Trump promised these families relief. That he would lower prices
and create job security. Everything he has done contradicts that promise.

Do you know what doesn’t help working people?

Tearing up union contracts and rolling back collective bargaining rights
for public servants and other workers.

Fudging job numbers and firing the person in charge of labor statistics.

Imposing outrageous tariffs that will raise prices for consumers.

Lying about the prices of groceries and gasoline.

Passing tax cuts for billionaires — paid for by cutting Medicaid and SNAP
services for families.

Gutting agencies like the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau —
effectively attacking poor people to help greedy bank CEOs get richer.

If they were actually interested in supporting working people, they could
take a page from my book:

* We could be bolstering workers’ rights and strengthening labor unions
so folks can have good wages, strong benefits, job security, and live
with dignity.

* We could be passing a national paid family and medical leave program
so that people don’t lose their paycheck when caring for loved ones.

* We could be investing in long-term affordable housing while also
passing immediate rent stabilization measures to make housing more
affordable.

* We could be raising the minimum wage so that working one job is
enough.

* We could make billionaires pay their fair share and fund programs like
universal child care.

That’s what our government should be doing right now. To Donald Trump and
Republicans who claim they’re pro-family, I say: Do your jobs. I can’t
hear the words you say because I see the things you do.

And I’ll keep doing my best at doing mine — fighting for workers,
families, and everyone who calls this country home. Fighting Trump’s
harmful legislation and making Republicans wear it. Listening to the
community’s concerns and standing in the gap.

[ [link removed] ]And here, right now, I need your help to stop the Trump administration
from tanking our economy. Can you pitch in
$25 or
whatever amount makes most sense to you, to help us fight for families and
everyone hurting from Trump’s policies?

In solidarity,

Ayanna
