The billionaires continue to wage a cruel war on working people, with their cronies in the administration, ICE and law enforcement backing up their attacks. This Labor Day we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics.
Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won’t back down—we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure access to opportunity and a better life for all Americans. The billionaire’s time is up.
On September 1st we will 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.
In thousands of communities around the country we encourage you to take a stand with us on Labor Day. On 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 world that works for all of us.
OUR DEMANDS TO BUILD THE SOCIETY WE ALL DESERVE:
- Stop the billionaire takeover and rampant corruption of the Trump administration.
- 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.
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.
The MAGA regime continues to wage a war on working people, cutting crucial public programs, conducting ICE raids in immigrant communities, and pushing a hostile takeover of our government. But we won’t back down.

Flock is illegally collaborating with CBP to facilitate mass deportations and Oakland Police are complicit!
There are over 300 of these AI-enabled cameras on our streets tracking people indiscriminately, and OPD wants even more.
Remind the Oakland Privacy Commission we are a sanctuary city and these cameras are being used to target immigrants.
There’s no place place for Flock Fascism on our streets! Drop the Contract now!

| Join the Rally & Press Conference |
|
| A plan to rush a new “Encampment Abatement Policy” that would criminalize homelessness in Oakland failed on Wednesday, thanks to the over one hundred residents who came out to speak in opposition to the proposal and in favor of real housing solutions. Organizing works!
But the fight is far from over – the Public Safety Committee voted to put this legislation on their “pending” list, which means Councilmembers will have time to propose amendments before bringing the policy back to Council for a vote. In the meantime, we are building on the momentum from this week’s victory to urge City Council to focus its resources on transitional and permanent affordable housing that gets Oaklanders off the streets. What: Press Conference of houseless, formerly houseless sweeps survivors, housed allies, community organizations and small businesses who successfully pushed back a plan to rush a new “Encampment Abatement Policy” speaking on real solutions to homelessness Who: Moms 4 Housing, POOR Magazine / Homefulness, Wood Street Commons, Black Solutions Lab, Care 4 Community Action, currently houseless people, Oakland residents, small business owners, and hopefully you, your family, roommates, friends, and neighbors! See you on Monday! |
