The economy has been rigged against working people by CEOs, billionaires and the politicians who do their bidding. On Saturday, February 24, thousands of working people across the country will stand united to say: un-rig the system.
Fifty years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. joined striking sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee, as they fought for the freedom to join together in a strong union and be treated with digity and respect at work. They carried signs that boldly proclaimed, "I AM A MAN."
Fifty years later, as a handful of corporate elites, divisive extremists and corrupt politicians continue to rig the economy against us, working people and our allies nationwide are rising up. On the Working People’s Day of Action, we will stand up for the freedom of working people to join together in strong unions and fight for decent and equitable pay for our work, affordable health care, quality schools, vibrant communities and a secure future for all of us.
