Protests will put pressure on the president and weaken the extent to which he can say he commands broad support.
The protest takes place on Labor Day, a federal holiday dating back to 1894 recognizing workers’ contributions to America. This year, it falls on September 1.
On the website, the organizers listed the following demands:
- Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.
- Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.
- Fully funded schools, and health care and housing for all.
- Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.
- Invest in people not wars."
I’m also getting pretty demoralized seeing that the only organized “resistance” is controlled by Boomer Neoliberals who aren’t interested in taking any action.
Literally any single one of these protests has the numbers to force immediate change. And they’re convinced we have no choice but to walk in circles and chant.
Gotta break stuff to achieve change.
Stuff like billionaires’ legs
