On Saturday, October 18, UE will join with Labor for Democracy and other allies to fight for freedom of speech, union rights, and the right to protest. At over 2,100 events in all 50 states, in DC and internationally, working people will gather together to demand #NoKings and #NoBillionaires making decisions for our workplaces, families and communities.
Find an action near you or sign up to host your own! Make sure to bring your UE banners and wear your UE gear to show that we stand with our communities in solidarity. You can use this link to download “Labor for Democracy” signs to print, and this link to download UE “No Kings” signs.
Here is more info from the MayDay Movement about the October 18 actions:
Billionaires are converting the government into their private slush fund and just passed the largest wealth giveaway in the history of the US. The money they take from our families, they put in their overstuffed pockets.
Just like any bad boss, the way we stop the takeover is with collective action. 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 fighting for a country that is more fair, just, equitable, and free for all of us — not just a chosen few.
Thousands of communities across the country are taking a stand to demand #NoKings and #NoBillionaires this October 18. We will be in the streets, outside the offices of the corporate criminals who are behind the attacks on our freedoms, and at congressional offices. Together we will demand a country that puts workers over billionaires.
MAYDAY MOVEMENT 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.
