Demands of the 4 PM Speak-out:
-End the billionaire looting! Fully fund public services - like public
education, Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid!
-No funds for war or genocide in Gaza!
-Immediate Legal Permanent Residence and Full Protections for all Immigrants who want it! No deportations! No raids!
-Free Rumeysa, Mahmoud, Kilmar, Kseniia, and all others abducted by ICE! No attacks on free speech!
-Stop police brutality! End the abuse of power!
-We Demand Labor’s Rights to Unionize, Organize and Strike!
Across the country—from fruit fields in California to classrooms in Chicago, from kitchens in Queens to loading docks in Atlanta— working people are rising up. We are demanding a country that puts our families over their fortunes—public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, housing over homelessness.
The billionaire class and its representatives in Washington are defunding our schools, privatizing public services, attacking unions, ripping up contracts, kidnapping immigrant family members, and seek to destroy our constitutional rights. We can reverse this only if we organize and mobilize massively to fight these beasts every step of the way. This is a war on working people—and we will not stand down.
Trump, Musk, and billionaire profiteers are leading the current assault against working people. But the overall assault has been going on for many years. The only differences among the billionaire class are the pace and scale of the overall assault. It is high time that we as working people take matters into our own hands and organize our own labor party independent from the two-party duopoly.
For May Day we are standing united and strong. We're organizing for a world where every family has housing, healthcare, fair wages, union protection, and safety from abuse of power and police brutality— regardless of race, zip code, or immigration status. This is not charity. This is not a request. This is us laying claim to what is rightfully ours!
This May Day, we can begin to claim the power we have always had, working people are the overwhelming majority but the corporate elites still dominate. We make the country run, and we can run the country. Let us begin a new era—one where working families lead, immigrants are fully legalized, and no one is left behind. The billionaires have ruled for too long. Their time is coming to an end!
