Why Rally at MSP?
• Delta Airlines gave $1,000,000 to Trump’s inauguration and backed policies that harm working families.
• MSP airport workers are fighting for living wages, healthcare, and union rights.
• Rideshare drivers demand safe working conditions, bathrooms, indoor spaces, and union rights.

Our Demands
• Dignity, fair wages, healthcare, and union rights for airport and rideshare workers.
• Corporations like Delta must support workers, not push billionaire tax breaks or cut public services.
• Healthcare for all and fully funded public schools, housing, and social services.
• End immigrant scapegoating, ICE profiteering, and systemic targeting of marginalized communities.
• Workers’ right to organize and bargain must be guaranteed.
• Tax the billionaires and ensure the ultra-rich pay their fair share.

About Labor Day
Labor Day was born from resistance and workers standing together - black, brown, white, natural-born citizens and immigrants - against exploitation. This Labor Day, we continue that legacy: demanding dignity and justice for all.

Note: A core principle of this rally is nonviolence. Hosts and participants will seek to de-escalate any confrontations. Signs are encouraged.
