Labor Day 2025 Protests in Idaho

This Labor Day, labor and community groups are organizing more than barbecues—they are mobilizing to stop the billionaire takeover of government.

The movement calls for collective action beyond voting, building a stronger and broader movement for justice, equity, and freedom. On September 1st, people nationwide, including League members, will rally at corporate and congressional offices to demand a society that prioritizes workers over billionaires.
