Labor Day 2025 is not the end of Summer. It’s the launch of Solidarity Season, a nationwide wave of action where union members and allies demand care, dignity, and power for working families. This year’s theme, Families First, Not Billionaires, makes our fight clear: we refuse to let billionaires slash care, scapegoat immigrants, raid public dollars, and divide working people for profit.

Labor Day was born from strikes, resistance, and the demands of workers – Black, brown, white, and immigrant — who stood shoulder to shoulder in the face of exploitation and refused to be silent. This year, we carry that legacy forward by rising up, not just to name what’s broken, but to take bold action. We are building a future rooted in care, dignity, and justice, where families come first, not billionaire profits. Join with SEIU Local 521 members at 2025 Labor Day event/action near you:
