SUMMARY:May Day Standout
DESCRIPTION:Join Indivisible Maynard Area on Friday May 1 from 4:30-5:30 pm at Veterans Memorial Park in Maynard to stand with workers and unions. We are asking that folks recognize this day with no shopping\, no work\, and no school to bring attention to the corruption and greed that are attacking our values\, our freedoms\, and our livelihood. We are becoming both an oligarchy and a kleptocracy. Billionaires and corporate interests have been amassing more power. Our wealth gap has been growing on the backs of workers while our services have been dwindling. We need to stand up with a common voice to tell our government that they represent the people\, not corporations. \n\n\n\nTogether we demand: \n\n\n\n1) Billionaires pay their fair share of taxes so that our communities come first \n\n\n\n2) Funds be used to protect and strengthen Medicare\, Social Security\, and other public programs we rely on\, not to subsidize corporations and give tax breaks to the ultra wealthy \n\n\n\n3) Health care\, public schools\, and affordable housing be fully funded and accessible \n\n\n\n4) Elections represent the will of the people rather than corporate interests and the wealthy few. \n\n\n\n5) The protection of immigrants\, those with disabilities\, LGBTQ+ people\, communities of color\, and Native communities against bigoted\, discriminatory\, and dangerous policies. \n\n\n\n6) Workers earn a living wage. (Did you know in MA farm workers have a min. wage of only $8 per hour?!) \n\n\n\n\nRSVP for updates\n\n\n\n\nCome join us at Veterans Memorial Park from 4:30-5:30pm in Maynard #WorkersOverBillionaires \n\n\n\nA core principle behind all Indivisible events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.
