LABOR DAY USA!!!

My parade would be to combat Apathy. 

"On September 5, 1882, some 10,000 workers assembled in New York City to participate in America's first Labor Day parade...
After marching from City Hall, past reviewing stands in Union Square, and then uptown to 42nd Street, the workers and their families gathered in Wendel's Elm Park for a picnic, concert, and speeches. This first Labor Day celebration was eagerly organized and executed by New York’s Central Labor Union, an umbrella group made up of representatives from many local unions.  Debate continues to this day as to who originated the idea of a workers' holiday, but it definitely emerged from the ranks of organized labor at a time when they wanted to demonstrate the strength of their burgeoning movement and inspire improvements in their working conditions."

First Labor Day

Some 100,000+ people showed up on this day to support the workers. How are you showing up? 

Enjoy the sales, eat the BBQ but...if you HAD to put on a parade Today, for workers what would it be in support of? 

Higher minimum wage?

Longer paid vacation? 

Shorter working hours? 

My parade would be to combat Apathy. 

Happy Labor Day! Enjoy your day off bc those before us fought hard to make it happen over 100 years ago :)
