Attacks on unions undermine living standards of all working people. For over five decades, neoliberal policies have caused public services austerity and job cuts. The assault has targeted educators, bus drivers, sanitation workers, healthcare workers and city employees. Underprivileged communities are hit hardest.

We must win good union jobs for all, especially by defending, strengthening and expanding the public Postal Service from a congressionally-manufactured crisis and efforts to dismantle and privatize it.

This May Day, over 3,000 demonstrations will sweep across America under the banner of Workers over Billionaires. It will be a day of No Work - No School - No Shopping.

The Green Party of the United States is leading the way and we want you to join us in taking to the streets for International Workers’ Day. Because as Greens, we know that we cannot have a sustainable planet without a just economy, and we cannot have justice for workers without a healthy environment.

But building a movement strong enough to win takes more than showing up, it takes resources. Can you chip in $10 or $25 today to help us organize for May Day? 

A May Day Strong coalition of over 500 labor and community organizations is demanding that we tax the rich, abolish ICE, end the Iran war, and choose democracy over corporate rule.

Don't just be a passive participant – be an active organizer. This is a massive opportunity for Greens to bring our signs and literature. Talk to your neighbors about why the working class needs its own independent political party. Bring a clipboard, sign up new members, and connect our national platform to your local issue campaigns.

Stand with Labor – Support the Greens

The Democrats and Republicans are fueled by corporate donations, which means they will always prioritize the billionaire class over the person on the assembly line or behind the counter.

The Green Party is the true party of labor. We don't just "support" labor; we are built by labor. We stand for a $25 minimum wage, a repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act, and a Green New Deal that guarantees union jobs to reverse the march towards climate disaster. We believe that those who create the wealth should own the wealth.

Let’s make this May Day a turning point for the working class. See you in the streets!

In Solidarity,
The Green Party of the United States

• The Green Party supports working people

WASHINGTON, DC — Green candidates and party leaders confirmed their commitment to a $25/hour national minimum wage, workers' rights, and union power and said that the economic status of working Americans and their families was unlikely to improve under either a Harris or Trump presidency.

"Since Reagan, whose neoliberal revolution went bipartisan under Clinton, every Democratic and Republican president has maintained economic policies that have increased financial insecurity for workers," said Alfred Molison, co-chair of the Green Party of the United States and a former member of American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) Local 3184.

This Friday in an unprecedented vote, Boeing machinists represented by IAM 751 walked out after their contract expired and 96% of Boeing workers voted to strike for higher wages.

The workers on strike are standing up for their right to be compensated fairly for their hard work. The Green Party of Washington commends their courage and insistence on respect, and they deserve our full support. 

There are currently members of the United Auto Workers are on a "stand up strike".  This is when instead of striking all plants, select locals are being called on to "stand up" and walk out on strike. 

The Green Party has always been a strong supporter of labor and now is no different.  Join us in a short demonstration of solidarity this Tuesday, October 24th from 4-6pm.  If you want to know where, please send us a note and we will get right back to you with the location. 

• And How to in Illinois

The Illinois Green Party encourages it’s members to support the United Auto Workers in their current strike against the three major automakers; Ford, GM, and Stellantis. The Green Party has been a strong supporter of labor and unions for its entire existence. Our members are working class activists and we hope to see them joining the workers in solidarity on the picket lines in Illinois or neighboring states or otherwise offering support however they are able.

Today is Labor Day in the United States. People all over the country are enjoying a day off with family or a cookout with friends. Let us not forget though, the organizers who fought for our labor rights, those that stood (and still stand) in the way of workers’ rights, and the fight that is still happening today. The government might call this a holiday, but Greens know this is simply another day in the fight for worker’s rights.
