May Day is a reminder that all of the rights that workers have today had to be fought for. Fair wages, safe working conditions, and dignity on the job aren’t luxuries; they’re the foundation of a just society and should be non-negotiable.

We must stand with workers everywhere, including defending every worker’s right to organize and unionize. It’s time this country prioritizes the working class—not the oligarch class that controls the levers of government and policy and concentrates its wealth on the labor of the rest of us.

For too long, power and wealth have been concentrated in the hands of a few, at the expense of the many. That imbalance is eroding our quality of life. Too many people are working multiple jobs just to get by. No one should have to struggle to put food on the table, worry about affording healthcare, or fear financial ruin from illness or pregnancy. No one should be forced to choose between filling their gas tank and paying their bills. And everyone deserves time to rest, spend with loved ones, and actually enjoy life.

It’s time to rebalance the system and return power to the people.
