It's time for the conditions and standard of living that the working class deserves. We're beginning a year of action on May 1st with a series of protests, strikes, and other direct action opportunities.
MAY 1 NATIONAL DAY OF ACTIONS:
THRIVING WAGES The working class people have been taken advantage of for far too long! Join us as we mobilize to create worldwide plans of action for THRIVING WAGES. We are demanding at least $20/hr as well as better union laws, the ease of information for organizing co-ops, and better working conditions. But wait, there's more! We are also demanding mandatory PTO, paternal leave, and good benefits.
Why do we want these demands? Inflation over the last year has risen over 7% and continues to climb. Rents and housing costs have skyrocketed. The costs of consumer goods as greatly increased. Yet corporations and billionaires have doubled their wealth in 2 years as the working class has struggled during a pandemic that has killed over 850,000 Americans and counting.
CANCEL STUDENT DEBT 41 million people in the US have student debt totaling nearly $2 trillion. This debt has weighed down and will continue to weigh down generations of young people. Biden has the power to eliminate student debt with a stroke of his executive pen. Biden proved this when he extended the moratorium on student debt payments when it was set to end on January 31. He did this in reaction to an outcry from young people and working people and the threat of mass protests called by the Debt Collective. Inspired by that victory, we are calling for a National Day of Action on May 1st to Cancel Student Debt!
