The Smile: 9/2

 

Happy Tuesday! This Labor Day, unions and community groups are taking to the streets in over a thousand “Workers Over Billionaires” events to send a clear message: working people will not be silenced by Trump or the billionaires who bankroll his agenda. From Boston to Chicago to New York, everyday Americans are marching, rallying, and organizing to demand fair wages, safe workplaces, and dignity for all — proving once again the strength of solidarity. ✍️ Add your name to stand with workers, unions, and communities fighting back against Trump’s billionaire-backed agenda!
