Many of you have heard that another day of nationwide rallies and protests is planned for Labor Day, September 1st. We hope you are planning to attend an event in your area and make your voice heard; and if you do, we urge you to STAY SAFE and KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.
The major organizer for Labor Day protests appears to be 50501, which stands for “50 Protests, 50 States, 1 Movement.”
From their website:
“Workers Over Billionaires” is a nationwide day of action on Monday, September 1. We’re turning Labor Day into a day of protest to demand:
- Fully funded public schools
- Health care for all
- Defense of workers’ rights, immigrant families, and Black and brown communities.
Their website at https://www.fiftyfifty.one includes sections on: Know Your Rights and Marching 101. More information can be found at Pagan Solidarity Resources, including links to the NAACP’s Staying Safe During a Protest, the ACLU’s Know Your Rights video, and Know Your Rights as a Protestor.
Remember the First Amendment: “Congress shall make no law respecting… the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.”
