Labor Day was established in the late 19th century to honor the American labor movement and the contributions of workers to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of the country. It became a federal holiday in 1894 after nationwide labor strikes and the growing influence of unions.
Today, billionaires and corporate interests are draining resources from working families, attacking immigrants and marginalized communities, and treating our democracy like something to be bought and sold.
In Brainerd, we know that real strength comes from neighbors showing up for and with each other.
That’s why on Labor Day, we’re joining thousands across the country to say: we want a fair, just, and equitable future. One where people matter more than profit, and where every voice is heard.
Join us! Register Here.
