LABOR DAY EVENT name: "Share Your voices for working families"


*Labor and communities are planning more than a barbecue on Labor Day this year because we have to stop the billionaire takeover.** 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 working families, they put in billionaires’ pockets and set aside to fund a private army of ICE agents.


 We want to stop the billionaire takeover–not just through the ballot box or the courts, but through building a bigger and stronger movement. We are 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. 


On September 1st we  will join communities across the country taking a stand on Labor Day to  continue the movement we launched together on May 1st, standing in solidarity with all our communities under attack and fighting for real wins for all our people.


WeThePeopleCacheValley join groups from across the nation on Labor Day to fight for the public good over corrupt capitalism, and fight to strengthen working families.


Our rallies highlight cuts and eliminations of programs that hurt working people, including cuts to Medicaid, Medicare, schools, healthcare, childcare, and housing, AND to celebrate people working to preserve American democracy and rights for all. We will host an early evening rally to provide opportunities for musicians, poets, and speakers who express themselves with a range of styles and formats. We hope to hear from a wide range of community members about working in today’s America, how the current crisis affects you and others - using original or existing protest songs, poems,or text, and to express your hopes and dreams for a better world. We welcome works in progress, new efforts, and extemporaneous or impromptu speaking in open mic performances. We will prove a sound system with one or two microphones, and for logistical and time reasons we will limit entries to solo artists or duets.



**OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:**


1. Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.


2. Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.


3. Fully funded schools, and healthcare and housing for all. 


4. Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.


5. Invest in people not wars. 



*Please note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind, including those legally permitted, should not be brought to events.*
