Details from 50501mn event:
Say no to the billionaires and corporations that are backing Trump’s attacks on working people and our democracy!
Stand with workers fighting for living wages, dignity, and union rights at the airport and beyond!
Together, we refuse to let billionaires slash care, scapegoat immigrants, raid public dollars, and divide working people for profit. Every family, no matter race, zip code or background, deserves safety, security, and a future. It’s time the ultra-rich pay their share so that we all can thrive.
Join 505051MN and Co-sponsors: About Face, Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, Delta Workers Unite, Indivisible Twin Cities, SEIU Local 26, Teamsters Local 120, UNITE-HERE Local 17, Women’s March Minnesota.
A core principle behind the Labor Day rally is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all hosts and participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
##More about Workers over Billionaires Rally, Labor Day 2025, MSP Airport
Why rally at the airport? Delta Airlines gave $1,000,000 to Donald Trump's Inauguration and supported the Big Ugly Bill.
Workers at MSP are fighting for living wages, health care, and their union rights, while corporate profits grow.
Rideshare drivers at the airport are denied a dignified waiting area; we support their demand for bathrooms, an indoor prayer space, and union rights.
Thousands of Americans gathered at airports in 2016 to resist Trump’s Muslim ban. On Labor Day, we return to rally for justice.
##About Labor Day
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.
We’re standing up because we’re fed up with a system designed to work for the few. When healthcare is gutted, when schools are underfunded, when wages stay low and billionaires hoard wealth, our families pay the price. Labor Day 2025 is our answer: We are uniting across race, geography, and sector to demand the future our labor built.
##What do we want? At the MSP Airport: All airport workers should be treated with dignity, earn a living wage, and healthcare, and have union rights.
Rideshare drivers deserve dignity.
Delta Airlines should support Minnesota’s workers, not attack our communities by lobbying for cuts to healthcare and billionaire tax breaks.
In our country and community: Healthcare for all: Reverse the Medicaid cuts. Make healthcare affordable for all. Denying healthcare is denying humanity.
Wages with dignity: Force corporations to raise pay, stop exploitation, and give workers back what they’ve earned.
Fully funded public services: Invest in schools, housing, Social Security, and public health—not in privatization, war, or incarceration.
Dignity and safety for every community: End immigrant scapegoating, ICE profiteering, and the targeting of Black, Brown, Indigenous, trans, and working-class people.
Power at work: Guarantee every worker the right to organize, bargain, and shape their future.
Tax the billionaires: Workers have paid enough. It’s time the ultra-rich gave back what they’ve taken.
We rise for care, dignity, and justice, and we refuse to let billionaires put their profits over our families.
