Houston DSA is joining the Texas Gulf Coast Area Labor Federation, Texas Organizing Project, Organized Power In Numbers, and New Economy for Working Houston for a Labor Day Celebration and Rally!

This is a great opportunity for DSA to stand in solidarity with organized labor. From the organizers:

At marches and rallies, picnics and parades, Workers’ Labor Day is a celebration of working people. And it’s a celebration of the power we have when we come together in a union—the power to take back our country for working people, not billionaires. 

Workers deserve the freedom, fairness and security that comes with a union. That’s why every organizing campaign, every strike, is an act of radical hope. We bet our solidarity and our collective power that working people can live a better life—one where we don’t have to struggle to afford food, housing and health care; where no one is targeted for who they are or where they were born; and where we can raise children and retire in dignity. 

That hope in the dark times, that vision for a better, fairer future—the American people believe in it, too. More than 70% of Americans and nearly 9 in 10 people younger than 30 support unions. 

Workers built this country, and workers deserve an economy, a government and a country for the people, not the billionaires. In the streets and on the shop floor, in union halls and the halls of Congress, this Workers’ Labor Day we’re going to show the billionaires who we are and how we fight. 

We will stand together to speak up. Speak out. Demand more. Workers deserve better—and we WILL take our country back!
