Protesters are planning several “Workers Over Billionaires” demonstrations nationwide Monday, including one in Riverside County, as part of a Labor Day effort organized by labor unions and other groups.
“The billionaires continue to wage a cruel war on working people, with their cronies in the administration, ICE and law enforcement backing up their attacks,” organizers said. “This Labor Day, we will continue to stand strong, fighting for public schools over private profits, healthcare over hedge funds, shared prosperity over corporate politics.
“Working people built this nation and we know how to take care of each other. We won’t back down — we will never stop fighting for our families and the rights and freedoms that ensure access to opportunity and a better life for all Americans. The billionaires time is up.”
The Riverside rally is set for 6 to 8 p.m. at Market Street and University Avenue.
