Labor is the only organized group that has consistently stood for worker's rights over corporate rule. Scores of economic, social and political justices have been championed by individual workers and organized working people who are members of labor unions -- sometimes working alone and other times in coalition with other organizations representing those who have been historically oppressed.
The root of labor power is people, while the root of corporate power is money and constitutional rights. Therefore, anything that can be done to reduce constitutionally the political power of money and corporate rights, the greater the effectiveness of “people power” (including workers) becomes.
Please consider attending a Labor Day event (i.e. festivals, rallies, parades and picnics) in your community this Labor Day weekend to:
√ Show solidarity with working people and labor unions working for justice in many forms.
√ Download and handout this flier – Take Back Human & Worker Rights | Abolish Corporate Rights – that describes the direct inverse relationship between worker and corporate rights.
√ Ask attendees to sign our Motion to Amend petition. Downloads copies HERE
Local events are being organized by the AFL-CIO, 50501 and others.
Working people and labor unions need Move to Amend to help expand their campaigns and Move to Amend needs organized working people to be part of a democracy movement to enact the We the People Amendment and achieve justice and real democracy.
Solidarity,
Lawrence Abbott, Linda Gillison, Darold Luze, Jennie Spanos, Greg Coleridge

p.s. While at Labor Day events, you may run into your Congressperson. If so, ask them to co-sponsor HJR54, the We the People Amendment, (list of current list co-sponsors) as a means to increase people power over corporate power. You can also ask candidates running for local or state office this year or federal office next year to sign our Pledge to Amend as a means to increase people power over corporate power. Download copies of the Pledge HERE.
