**David Rovics Benefit Concert**

...Rovics has been traveling the world for decades now, singing his songs of resistance, peace, and democracy for unions, peace activists, and
social justice everywhere he travels. In the middle of his current Prairie Fire Tour, he is performing a benefit concert for the local
branch of the Industrial Workers of the World, the most democratic union in North America since 1905. While David travels the world
singing about corporate greed and political injustice, the IWW is actively organizing workplaces - like Starbucks at the Mall of
America! - near you. We are a perfect match, but there's one thing missing: you.

Openers: Abdi Phenomenal Farah & the Twin Cities Labor Chorus
Walker Community Church

University and Pleasant Ave in Minneapolis
...

Since the Recession began in 2008, corporate elites have squeezed all workers with layoffs, pay cuts, reduced staffing, reduced work hours, and demands for more productivity while Corporate America rakes in billions in profit.

As the economy crumbles, good jobs are harder and harder to find. Today, 40% of workers in the US work in the food, retail, and service sector. Workers in these industries typically face poverty wages, inconsistent scheduling, no access to affordable healthcare or time off when we are sick, racial, gender, and other forms of discrimination, no breaks, disrespect from our bosses, and harassment from customers. Everyday bosses seek to take more from us. Every day we struggle to support ourselves and our families.

But we refuse to be powerless. We as workers can organize to confront economic, racial, and gender injustice. The time has come to demand basic economic rights; fair wages, fair treatment in the workplace, sick days, fair scheduling, a voice on the job. Only through a grass-roots, democratic movement can we accomplish these goals and build towards a society where common sense and justice align. We call upon service workers, retail workers, ALL workers; SPEAK OUT on Labor Day!

3:00pm Meet up
3:30pm Speak Out/ Music
4:30pm Mobilize!
