Workers Over Billionaires: Labor Day Is Our Rebellion
This Labor Day is not a holiday; it’s a rebellion where workers rise, billionaires fall, and democracy fights back.
On Labor Day, our streets won’t be filled with parades or picnics. Across 2,000 cities and towns, working people will rise in thunderous rejection of the billionaire takeover poisoning our government, our families, and our democracy. We aren’t gathering to celebrate labor; we are mobilizing to reclaim a nation stolen by corrupt elites who treat America as a slush fund and working families as expendable. Barbecue politics are dead. Rebellion is alive.
The Billionaire Class Is Cannibalizing Our Future
Billionaires captured Congress. They have hijacked the courts. They fund private armies that terrorize communities through ICE raids and militarized crackdowns. The Trump regime and its allies make no secret of their goals. They slash Medicaid and public schools. They fire federal and union workers. They strip rights from immigrants and communities of color. They hand out the largest tax cuts in history—not to single moms or nurses, but to the richest men alive.
Their mission is obvious: bankrupt public programs, defund our futures, and funnel billions into their own pockets. They dismantle worker protections. They choke off collective bargaining. They paralyze the National Labor Relations Board so unionizing becomes impossible. The result: record inequality. America’s wealthiest soar higher than ever while working people watch wages stagnate, jobs vanish, and neighborhoods collapse.
Unions: Our Last Line of Defense
When unions grow, wages rise. Racial and gender gaps shrink. Home ownership expands. Democracy flourishes. Unions don’t just raise pay; they empower workers to strike, to demand dignity, to win change.
Billionaires know this and fight viciously to crush it. Since Trump’s return, 1.4 million federal employees have lost union rights. The NLRB was gutted, leaving corporations free to retaliate. Amazon, Starbucks, and other giants pour hundreds of millions into union-busting consultants to silence workers and keep wages low.
Collective power is still our greatest weapon. Unions train leaders. They forge alliances. They turn workplaces into sites of resistance. Each shop that organizes chips away at the billionaire fortress. On Labor Day, marching means more than visibility. It means building the fire that spreads from one workplace to the next.
This Is How We Rebel
Labor Day 2025 is an inflection point. From the fruit fields of California to the kitchens of Queens, from Chicago classrooms to Atlanta loading docks, we rise together.
Our rebellion has clear demands:
Put workers over billionaires: Fund schools and hospitals, expand Medicaid, and prioritize housing for all—not tax breaks for the rich.
Defend the right to organize: Restore union rights, reinstate NLRB power, and outlaw union-busting.
Stop the war on immigrants and communities of color: End ICE raids, protect sanctuary cities, and fund legal aid for families under attack.
Reject corruption: Expose, indict, and remove billionaire power brokers who loot public resources and corrupt democracy.
Can’t join us in the streets? Rebel from wherever you are:
Amplify our voices online. Share truth. Drown out billionaire propaganda.
Support union-made products. Donate to strike funds. Join a union.
Call your representatives. Demand labor protections. Fight anti-union “right to work” laws.
Stand Up, Fight Back: This Is Our Labor Day
Courts won’t save us. Congress won’t rescue us. Billionaires won’t grow a conscience. The only way to stop bad bosses is the way workers always have by coming together, building solidarity, organizing, and rebelling in numbers too large to ignore.
This Labor Day, we rise not in celebration but in defiance. DemCast is partnering with May Day Strong to declare #WorkersOverBillionaires. We are the overwhelming majority. There are more workers than billionaires in this country, and it’s time our government, our economy, and our democracy reflect that truth. The billionaire agenda had its moment. Now, working people are standing up, fighting back, and reclaiming the future.
We fight not just for ourselves, but for every family, every worker, every community that deserves dignity, justice, and a voice. This is how we rebel. This is how we win. This is workers over billionaires.
See you in the streets.
I agree with the slogan workers over billionaires but I DISAGREE that unions are allways helpful. Some unions demands are egregious.
