SANTA BARBARA — On Labor Day, Monday, September 1, at 11:00 a.m., community members will gather at De La Guerra Plaza in Santa Barbara as part of a nationwide day of protest to honor working people and stand strong against billionaire exploitation and corporate domination.
Across the country, workers, students, parents, and neighbors are rising up to demand dignity, justice, and investment in people — not billionaire empires.
The Santa Barbara event will include protest songs, chants, stories from the community, and opportunities for students and others to share how economic injustice impacts their families and communities. Participants are encouraged to bring signs, water, and their voices. Limited seating and sign-making supplies will be available.
- Stop the billionaire takeover corrupting our government.
- Protect and defend Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs for working people.
- Fully funded schools, healthcare, and housing for all.
- Stop the attacks on immigrants, Black, Indigenous, trans people, and all our communities.
- Invest in people, not wars.
“Our strength is in our unity,” said organizers. “On Labor Day, we join people across the nation to stand together, loud and strong, for justice and dignity.”
This event is rooted in nonviolent action. Participants are expected to seek de-escalation in all situations. Weapons of any kind, even if legally permitted, are not allowed.
