87 years ago, President Roosevelt signed the Fair Labor Standards Act into law, establishing the 40-hour workweek, child labor protections, overtime pay, minimum wage and more.
These protections were won because workers stood up, organized and demanded better.

The agenda of mass deportations is deeply anti-worker. One in five workers in America is an immigrant. They’re vital to the fabric of our communities.

They’re slashing food assistance, health care, and retirement benefits for MILLIONS of people—all so they can give even more tax breaks for the rich.
