50501 ‘Get up, stand up’ at the Park Blocks Aug. 31

from 50501 Eugene

50501 Eugene is hosting a Workers Over Billionaires event Sunday, Aug. 31 at 10:30 a.m. at the Park Blocks in downtown Eugene.

The working class is the backbone of this country. We built the infrastructure, power the economy, and hold communities together. And what do we get in return? An oligarchy that exploits our labor and profits from our struggles, a fascist dictator who strips us of our constitutional rights.

On Aug. 31, we will stand up for America’s working class, for our neighbors, and for democracy. We will rise against executive overreach. Come to the Park Blocks of downtown Eugene 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 31 to talk to local union reps directly, wave your protest signs of solidarity with the working class, and raise your voice.

This event is being organized by 50501 Eugene.

To help build a robust local mutual aid network, 50501 Eugene will honor your volunteer time in the time bank. Check in with Brisket to bank your hours or to donate them to organizations and persons in our community.
