Happy Labor Day, team!
This holiday was founded to recognize and celebrate the achievements of working people in America, and it’s a holiday that we at the Fairness Project hold close to our hearts.
The Fairness Project was born out of the labor movement, and we’re proud to honor the legacy of union organizers as we use direct democracy to fight for higher wages, better benefits, and economic fairness.
You see, friend, direct democracy and the labor movement are deeply connected, because both share an important guiding principle: When working people stand together, we WIN.
When we stand together, we win higher wages, better health care, paid medical and family leave, police accountability, reproductive freedom, and so much more. When we stand together, friend, we win social and economic fairness for millions — and THAT is worth celebrating.
So today we’re celebrating unions, organizers, and working people everywhere who have led the fight for progress. There are so many lessons we can learn by looking to the history of the labor movement — especially when it comes to building diverse coalitions that are strong enough to withstand attacks and change the status quo.
There’s lots more work to do, friend, but this Labor Day, will you join us in celebrating by signing our petition to show your support for working people in America?
