  • Workers Over Billionaires Rally/Protest and Food Drive – KONA (Hawai’i Island)

    Join us on Friday, May 1st from 4-5pm in Kona on the Queen Ka’ahumanu Hwy, south of Henry Street, behind the Mormon Temple for a rally/protest in solidarity with American workers and families.

    Why Take Action on May Day?

    We want our tax dollars to go to schools and housing, not to sending federal agents into our cities to attack and kill our neighbors. No one should live under ICE violence or militarized occupation, period.

    Our tax dollars should fund stability and care, not occupation and repression.

    Democracy should work for working people, not billionaire interests.
    While working families are stretched to the brink, billionaires and corporations are posting record profits and hoarding the wealth our labor creates. That money should be funding housing, schools, healthcare, and the public goods that make life livable.

    The Corporations and the ultra-rich have rigged the system and it won’t get un-rigged unless working people take big actions together.

    Corporations and the ultra-wealthy are rigging the rules to protect their power and shut the rest of us out. A government captured by billionaire interests will not solve a crisis that benefits them without us making it.
    Organized people are the only force that has ever stopped authoritarian takeovers and changed the rules to work for working people.

    Those who profit from a rigged system will not voluntarily give it up. When working people move together, we can defend our communities, protect our rights, and force the government to put our families over their fortunes.
