Labor Day ‘Workers Over Billionaires’ Protests Planned Nationwide; Bigger DC Turnout Expected

Labor and community groups are organizing hundreds of “Workers Over Billionaires” actions across the United States for Labor Day weekend, with a larger, coordinated turnout expected in the D.C.-Maryland-Virginia region, according to May Day Strong. A companion hub lists parades and rallies nationwide—including the Greenbelt Labor Parade and a D.C. rally—on Workers’ Labor Day and the DC Labor Council events page.

Major unions and allies are promoting local actions under the same banner. The AFL-CIO is hosting sign-ups, and SEIU says its locals are launching dozens of events. Organizers say the message centers on public schools and services over privatization, protections for programs like Social Security and Medicaid, and opposition to what they call a “billionaire takeover.”

What’s next: Organizers say locations and times may update through the weekend; participants should check event maps and local union pages for the latest details.
